Name ScanJig
Description ScanJig is a portable scanning stand designed to help individuals who are blind or have low vision or a fine motor disability scan documents through their smartphone or tablet. The stand consists of two main parts-a smartphone/tablet holder and a document holder. The holder props up the smartphone or tablet in a vertical portrait orientation and at an angle so as to capture more light and avoid shadows, while the document holder holds up a document in the same vertical portrait orientation directly behind the smartphone or tablet. The stand also comes with two clips that can be used to secure creased documents (e.g., books) or small items (e.g., checks, business cards) firmly against the document holder. ScanJig works with any document scanner app to help turn the user’s tablet or smartphone into a document imaging device. Made of molded plastic, this stable scanning stand has non-slip rubber feet for added stability, and built-in tactile guides to help the user properly align and position both the device and document on its respective holders. Users can also remove the smartphone/tablet holder entirely and use just the document holder as a stand. In this configuration, smart glasses can be used to capture the document image (smart glasses are not included). When not in use, ScanJig can be folded down flat, snapped shut and carried in backpacks or briefcases.

Name AirO2bic Mouse
Description The AirO2bic Mouse is a switch adapted mouse designed for use by individuals with fine motor, upper extremity, or physical disabilities. The mouse was designed to increase nerve conduction response in arms of users with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), but can also be used by users without CTS who have normal range. It was designed to increase  nerve conduction velocities, moving  further into the normal range and away from the diagnostic threshold level.  Users place their hand in the mouse, not on or around it, so they do not have to user the smaller muscle that can become injured. A Gripless, so "Functional Neutral" posture, provides for lowest physiological load so helps to avoid the hours of muscle tension that can cut off the oxygen supply in muscles while they are tensed.

Name Head Mounted Laser Pointer
Description The Laser Pointer (Head Mounted) is designed for users with speech and mobility impairments, and users with limited movement as a way for them to communicate. The device works by enabling a person with limited movement to directly point to letters, words, and phrases on a communication board. The laser pointer uses a class 2 laser module (the lowest powered visible laser available), that is considered safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds. The laser is mounted onto a tiny adjustable arm making it easy to adjust the beam of the laser up, down, left and right. This is important, because a person may be communicating in several different positions though out the course of the day. (If a person was using a conventional laser pointer, and tilted back in their chair, the laser beam would point at the ceiling). Using an adjustable mount also means that the communication partner does not need to change the position of the board every time the laser user reclines or tilts back in their chair.

When the user moves his or her eyes and directs his gaze to where he wants the cursor to go, the Tobii EyeX Software, combined with the sensors on the controller, will track the user’s eye movement and move the mouse cursor accordingly. The Tobii EyeX Controller provides access to a wide range of video games, and offers increased privacy and security. The device will automatically dim the screen whenever the user looks away, stay awake until the user steps away from the computer, and automatically sign the user in when he looks at the device. This last feature is made possible with Windows Hello, the biometric security feature for Windows 10. With Windows Hello, Tobii can power biometric facial recognition for Windows 10 and enable users to sign in to their computer, apps or services with just their presence in lieu of a password. Mount the Tobii EyeX Controller to the computer screen using the provided adhesive strip and connect it to a USB 3.0 port.

This application (or app) allows a therapist or parent to use an Apple iPad to help children to practice language and auditory processing tasks at the basic sentence level. The app comes with three different levels of difficulty so the child can learn how to attend to important elements of a sentence and picture the sentence's meaning: easy (slow with visual support staying on the screen), intermediate (faster rate with pauses and visual support flashing briefly on the screen), and advanced (no pausing or visual support). This Lite version has a limit of three users and targets the subject + verb + object syntax structure. The full version of Picture the Sentence HD (see separate entry) can have unlimited users and targets additional sentence structures. The user can choose from two sets of subjects: pronouns (he/she/they) and nouns (boy/girl/children). Other features include a sandtimer that delays the presentation of the picture choices so there is a greater challenge to the child's working memory; on/off settings for text; choice of color drawing icons or stick figures; and a progress/data tracker that allows the user to collect and save data, and email or print it. There is also a "Pick-a-Door" game that can be selected at varying intervals so the user can take a break; the user opens a series of doors until an animal comes out and says, "You found me!" COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 4.3 or later.

Name Picture The Sentence Hd
Description Picture the Sentence HD is a voice output language and vocabulary tutorial program designed for use by language therapists and parents working with children who have cognitive, communication, developmental, or learning disabilities or autism. This application (or app) allows a therapist or parent to use an Apple iPad to help children to practice language and auditory processing tasks at the basic sentence level. The app comes with three different levels of difficulty so the child can learn how to attend to important elements of a sentence and picture the sentence's meaning: easy (slow with visual support staying on the screen), intermediate (faster rate with pauses and visual support flashing briefly on the screen), and advanced (no pausing or visual support). Sentence types include subject + verb, subject + verb + object, subject + verb + prepositional phrase, and subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase. The user can choose from two sets of subjects: pronouns (he/she/they) and nouns (boy/girl/children). Other features include a sandtimer that delays the presentation of the picture choices so there is a greater challenge to the child's working memory; on/off settings for text; choice of color drawing icons or stick figures; and a progress/data tracker that allows the user to collect and save data, and email or print it. There is also a "Pick-a-Door" game that can be selected at varying intervals so the user can take a break; the user opens a series of doors until an animal comes out and says, "You found me!" COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 4.3 or later.

Name Cimo Spelling (Sight Words)
Description Cimo Spelling (Sight Words) is a reading and spelling tutorial program for children with language, developmental or learning disabilities or autism spectrum disorder. This application (or app) is an interactive game that teaches a combination of high frequency and sight words (from the Dolch Sight Word list). The list of 255 words was selected to cover words that a child encounters most often when learning to read (high frequency), including words that cannot be learned using pictures (sight words). In this game, the child helps Cimo the penguin reach an iceberg to catch fish. Each correct letter chosen adds a block to Cimo's bridge. When the word is finished, Cimo can cross, but wrong letters cause Cimo to fall in the water. This app is divided into 6 total levels to help children practice sight words in grade appropriate levels (kindergarten, first, second, or third grade), with one additional level for high freqency words. The final challenge level mixes all the words together and adds incorrect letter options to increase difficulty. This app includes a progress report for parents that tracks the child's performance in spelling the sight and high frequency words and provides play history with game details. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.2 or later.

The list of 255 words was selected to cover words that a child encounters most often when learning to read (high frequency), including words that cannot be learned using pictures (sight words). In this game, the child helps Cimo the penguin reach an iceberg to catch fish. Each correct letter chosen adds a block to Cimo's bridge. When the word is finished, Cimo can cross, but wrong letters cause Cimo to fall in the water. This app is divided into 6 total levels to help children practice sight words in grade appropriate levels (kindergarten, first, second, or third grade), with one additional level for high freqency words. The final challenge level mixes all the words together and adds incorrect letter options to increase difficulty. This app includes a progress report for parents that tracks the child's performance in spelling the sight and high frequency words and provides play history with game details. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.2 or later.

The SMART Response LE is a wireless student response system and test interpretation and report program designed for use by children with communication, learning, speech or fine motor disabilities. This system features wireless remotes with large LCD screens, big buttons and a range of up to 100 feet; a receiver that connects to a computer using a USB connection and can either be mounted on a wall or placed on a desk; and assessment software that integrates with SMART Notebook collaborative learning software. Students use the remotes to answer questions, receive instant feedback and stay involved in lessons. Teachers create true-or-false, yes-or-no, or multiple choice questions using SMART Notebook software, and each answer automatically corresponds to one of the five buttons on the remotes. The buttons are green, red, blue, yellow and purple, and each button is labeled with a different white shape on each button as a simple label. When students respond to questions, the software summarizes the results in a pie chart or bar graph for everyone in the room to see. The system also allows students to respond anonymously. Teachers can use the built-in gradebook to access reports and track student performance; and use questions from third-party question banks or import questions from other software programs. This system is available with 12, 18, 24 and 32 remotes. A carrying case for all remotes is included. COMPATIBILITY: IBM PC and Apple Macintosh computers.

Name Focus GPS
Description Focus GPS is a cognitive aid application and prompter designed for use by students with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). This application, or "app," boosts the user's academic and cognitive performance by supporting the user in the executive function areas of memory, concentration, and organization. It helps students to step logically through complex thought and scheduling processes, allowing them to manage changing priorities. The "What’s Up?" feature enables users to organize their schedules throughout the day based on priority. When students feel challenged by their schedules, they can transmit their current "What’s Up?" schedule wirelessly at the touch of a button to one or more of their pre-selected mentors for guidance and encouragement. Mentors can include a peer mentor (an older student experienced in ADHD issues), parents, tutors, best friends, sports or life coaches, therapists, or others who have an interest in the success of the student. The "What’s Done?" feature displays tasks completed by the student in a given time period in a bright green color and can be transmitted wirelessly to one or more of the student’s pre-selected mentors. Transmitting this information (normally once a day) permits the student’s mentors to observe and acknowledge the progress made by the student and to offer encouragement. Together, "What’s Up?" and "What’s Done?" help students with ADHD deal with forgetfulness and procrastination. The app is intende to generate attention and acknowledgment from mentors that can motivate students to do the work needed, earn praise, and feel successful. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT: iOS 3.2 or later operating system.

Name Memo Portable Pill Box
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of an LED alert portable pill box for individuals with memory disabilities and other conditions that affect memory such as Alzheimer’s disease. Memo is a portable pill box system designed specifically for people with Alzheimer's disease to remind them when and how many pills to take using colored boxes and an LED indicator. The Memo system uses a two-step process: (1) the prescribing physician enters the quantities, time, and other details of the user's medication regimen into software; (2) each medication is linked to a color and that medication is places in the Memo pill box that matches that color. The pill boxes are then stacked and attached to form a single unit with the LED indicator on top. The LED indicator will glows increasingly brightly in one of the programmed colors to remind the individual to take specific pills at the right moment and in the right quantity. The Memo is made of soft touch rubber, aluminum, a small circuit board, battery, and LED lights. TITLE: Pill Box for Alzheimer Patients. WEBSITE: Yanko Design.

For example, if the user selects "Nouns" category, he or she is presented with 24 categories of nouns to select. When a subcategory is selected, the user is provided with an on-screen keyboard containing items in the subcategory. Smart Speech also can be used to type directly into any open application so it also can be used as a writing tool, for composing sentences in documents, spreadsheets, emails, or Internet applications. In addition, the keys on the keyboard can be used to "speak the current sentence," or "speak the current thought" (a "thought" is a paragraph containing one or more sentences), create new thoughts, move up and down the thoughts in a document or clear thoughts. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM or compatible computer. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP or better, Pentium IV processor or better, 256 megabytes (MB) RAM, 75 MB of hard drive space, REACH Interface Author and a sound card.

Name Gesture-To-Voice Synthesizer
Description -- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a gesture-to-voice synthesizer for individuals with speech or communication disabilities. The gesture-to-voice synthesizer was created at the University of British Columbia by a team led by professor of electrical and computer engineering Sidney Fels. It allows users to put on a pair of sensor-equipped gloves, then move their hands in the air. Based on those hand movements, the synthesizer is able to create audible speech. The gloves contain three-dimensional position sensors, which are able to identify each hand's position in space, along with the gestures those hands are making. This information is transmitted to a computer with software that has assigned a different sound to each glove posture. The right-hand glove can detect bending motions and is thus able to produce a variety of consonant sounds when the hand closes and vowel sounds when it opens. Different consonants can be selected between by making different gestures with that hand, while vowel sounds can be controlled by its horizontal location. The glove's vertical location controls pitch. Hard stop sounds, such as the consonants "B" and "D," are produced by gesturing with the left-hand glove. AUTHOR: Ben Coxworth. TITLE: Speech synthesizer allows users to form spoken words using hand gestures. WEBSITE: Gizmag. REF: http://www.gizmag.com/gesture-to-voice-synthesizer/21567.

Description The Fling Mini is a joystick interface for touch screen designed for use with smartphones or other handheld devices with a touch screen for individuals with neuromuscular disabilities that result in weakness in the hands. Sold in pairs, it can be used with any game that has an on-screen joystick on the Apple iPhone or iPod touch or any Android smartphone. Each unit is made from anodized aluminum and transparent engineering-grade resin that is tough and flexible. The joystick stays in place on a screen by means of two suction cups, which provide a secure but removable grip. The Fling should be placed over the game's onscreen joystick. The joystick has a mechanical spring that is tuned to provide the proper amount of resistance for precision control. The joystick and suction cups do not damage the touch screen. The user positions the Fling Mini's center control over the directional pad in the game, which is usually found in the bottom left corner of the screen. The joystick comes in pairs for games with dual controls. To navigate through the game, the user presses the thumb on the joystick. As the user controls a game, this joystick pushes gently back towards the center position. This haptic feedback guides and stabilizes game play, making every action more accurate. When the device's screen illuminates, it shines through the resin base and suction cup, so the user can see the screen and game action. There are hundreds of compatible games that can be played with these joysticks, including Robokill, Joypad Elite, Aralon: Sword and Shadow, Super Mega Worm, Meteor Blitz, Dink Smallwood, and Blade of Betrayal. Compatible apps have compatibility information in their app description on iTunes or Google Play. A microfiber storage bag is included, which can also be used to wipe the screen clean. When not in use, the joystick can be attached to the back of a smartphone, or stored in the included bag.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a sign language interpreter glove for an Android smartphone for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to communicate with individuals who are not familiar with sign language. Google developers, Saron Paz, Oleg Imanilov, Zvika Markfeld, and Tomer Daniel have developed a prototype glove, Show & Tell, a gesture-sensing glove that instantly translates sign language into text through an Android smartphone. Show & Tell incorporates a number of sensors to detect hand gestures which are then interpreted via a smartphone application to produce text. Flex sensors embedded in the fingers of the glove detect finger position while an accelerometer and tilt sensor detect hand movement and orientation. While this prototype is in the early stages and the interpretation application is only available through Android smartphones, Show & Tell offers a simple and cheap interface for individuals not versed in sign language to communicate with individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The prototype also could be used for a variety of applications such as live translation of sign language speeches without need for a live sign language interpreter. AUTHOR: Gavin Corley.

Name Le Chal System
Description -- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a navigational device similar to a white cane in the form of footwear (i.e. shoes) to assist individuals who are blind or have low vision in navigating to a specific geographic location. Anirudh Sharma, a young researcher at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Bangalore, India designed this prototype system entitled "Le Chal," which is Hindi for "Take Me There." The Le Chal system is designed to assist users in navigating when walking to specific geographic locations so that he or she avoids walking into objects on the way. The system is a combination of haptic feedback footwear via a LilyPad Arduino circuit board located in the heel of each shoe, an Android smartphone application, Bluetooth technology, and Google Maps with GPS technologies. The user begins by entering their destination on Google Maps, using the Le Chal application running on an Android smartphone. Following the Google Maps turn-by-turn directions, along with locational data from its own GPS unit, the phone communicates with circuit board to activate the shoe's haptic cues. The shoes provide haptic feedback, guiding the user toward their destination by vibrating in the front, back, or on either side. A vibration on the front indicates that the user should keep going straight; a vibration on the left side means that he or she should turn left; etc. The vibrations begin low, but build in intensity as the user nears points where he or she should change direction. Additionally, a proximity sensor in the front of the shoe alerts the user to obstacles, which it can detect from up to ten feet (three meters) away. There is currently no information on Le Chal being marketed in the near future; however, Sharma is anticipating releasing the code for the application and the schematics for the shoe, via the Arduino community. Moreover, a Do-It-Yourself guide may be released via Wikipedia, which will allow users to update with their own improvements to the system. AUTHOR: Ben Coxworth. TITLE: Haptic shoe could replace the white cane. WEBSITE: Gizmag. REF: http://www.gizmag.com/le-chal-haptic-shoe-for-blind/20186.

Name SmallTalk Consonant Blends
Description The SmallTalk Consonant Blends app provides a series of speech-exercise videos, each illustrating the tongue and lip movements necessary to produce consonant blends where two or three consonants are blended together, such as “bl” or “str.” These articulation videos allow people with apraxia, aphasia, and/or dysarthria resulting from stroke or head injury to practice consonant blends as often as they like. Because each exercise comes as an individual video, they can focus on just the blends they need and repeat them as many times as they like.

Description The SmallTalk Intensive Care app provides a picture-based vocabulary of phrases that patients can use to communicate their needs and feelings to medical-care providers in the ICU, such as “I have chest pain” and “I want a doctor.” The app is designed for anyone who has difficulty speaking or is unable to speak, due either to having a language impairment, not being a native speaker, or being intubated or on a tracheotomy tube. Phrases are spoken in a natural human voice, and accompanying pictures clearly illustrate their meaning so that users do not need to be able to read English. Research shows that patients who are able to effectively communicate their needs receive better care and have better outcomes.

If the child "pops" the word, it changes back into the object, the device speaks the word again, and the object disappears. If the user clears all the objects, he or she moves to the next round. The program comes with more than 100 words and four levels of difficulty. Each level has multiple rounds to clear. Rewards and penalties appear at the top of the screen, and high scores are stored in the program. Available languages are English and Spanish. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 4.2 or later.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of duel-purpose cover for the Apple iPad™ that doubles as a Braille reader for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Designed by Jayson D’Alessandro for the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDEA) Awards, The Omnifer is an innovative cover for the iPad that transforms the iPad’s touch screen into Braille. The Omnifer is a light-weight three-panel flip design cover that allows users to switch between Braille mode and standard operation and provides additional protection to the back of the iPad when the Braille overlay is not in use. The Braille overlay is generated by gas pockets filled with a chemical that reacts by expanding when exposed to light. When the gas is in its expanded state, the Braille dot(s) rise. When the light source is extinguished, the dot lowers. In combination with an iPad application (or app), illuminated dots could be programed to appear in designated areas. The application allows text to be streamed automatically to Braille format. Forward and backward buttons are provided and the iPad can be operated as a standard Braille reader. Additionally, an area below the Braille display is left open for the user to interact with the touch display more freely. This allows this area to be used at the programmer’s discretion giving the project a universal range of uses. TITLE: Braille iPad. WEBSITE: Yanko Design.

Name Brain Cap
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype an Electroencephalography (EEG) “brain cap” technology that allows an individual to transfer one’s thoughts into motion. Researchers at the University of Maryland have created a prototype “brain cap” that can transform thoughts into motion using brain signals captured from the cap’s EEG sensors that are attached to user's scalp. The computer connected to the brain cap reconstructs 3D hand movements so that one can control a computer’s cursor using nothing but thought. This complex movement has been transferred over to the ankle, knee, and hip joints that are involved when walking on a treadmill. This device may provide a non-invasive technology which can be used to return motor function to victims of paralysis, injury or stroke; however, research is still being done on “decoding” the differences between the way an individual thinks and matching up the EEG with normal signals.

Name Stickybear's Matching Mansion
Description Stickybear's Matching Mansion is an academic and pre-reading skills tutorial program designed for use by teachers and parents working with children ages three through six and up who are developmentally or physically disabled. This program allows a child to use an Apple iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to learn basic reading skills. The program features a Fun Park Haunted Mansion with screechy bats and owls and assorted peculiar characters. The child starts the app by hitting PLAY, touches an open window and a character will hold up a sign with a picture on it, then touches another window and tries to match pairs of pictures. The shutter closes when there is a match, and the round is won when all pairs are matched. The score is displayed and the next round appears. There are three mansion choices: eight windows (four pairs) which is easiest and suitable for the youngest, 10 windows (five pairs) which requires more patience and skill, and 12 windows (six pairs) which is the most challenging. The program comes with seven levels of play, each targeted at a different reading skill, helping the child to build sight vocabularies, reading, phonics and memory. 1. Picture-Picture: Match pictures to like pictures. 2. Picture-Word: Match a picture to its name in word form by associating the word in letters with the picture. 3. Simple Nouns: Match words from a list of simple nouns by recognizing the letter patterns and listening to the words. 4. Rhyming Words: Match words that rhyme. 5. Sight Words: Match the sight words. 6. Beginning Consonants: Match pairs of dissimilar words that start with the same letter. 7. Ending Consonants: Match pairs of dissimilar words that end with the same letter. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 4.2 or later.

Name Adapted Headset
Description ---- CUSTOMIZED ADAPTATION --------- PURPOSE: To create a custom adapted headset for an adult with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and spinal fusion. This individual has limited mobility, can only lift her arms to her chest, and cannot bend her neck. She mostly relies on Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software since she can only type for a short time without pain; however, she is unable to put on or take off the microphone headset by herself. Designers observed that she was able to manipulate sticks well so an adaptation was created using two pieces of dowel, tapered at both ends with a rubber stopper about three centimeters from the ends. These fit snuggly into lugs, which are fitted onto the headset with a stopper preventing the stick from slipping out of the lug. She can then ask her caregiver to place the headset on, and when she is finished, she can manipulate the sticks into the lugs and remove the headset herself. TITLE: Adapted spoon and headset.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of an iPhone application that allows individuals with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disabilities to monitor their conditions and share this information with their treatment teams without paying for costly visits to medical facilities. Researchers at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a an iPhone application, iTrem, allowing users to monitor Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions by collecting data from arm and hand tremors. The iTrem makes use of the built-in accelerometer found in the iPhone to collect data from a patient who is at home or at the office. The data is then sent to medical personnel to be analyzed. Using the application, patients can monitor their conditions without having to pay costly visits to medical facilities. Future developments include additional Parkinson’s related tests, and possibly the ability to detect and analyze dyskinesia, a movement disorder. iTrem is currently undergoing clinical study at Emory University and will need to receive approval from the FDA before it is available from the Apple App Store, which is expected to happen later this year.

The two formats that can be played with VOD are: DAISY 2.02 compliant audio and NCC only, and DAISY 2.02 compliant audio and full text. VOD cannot play DAISY digital talking books that are encrypted for copyright protection. To transfer a book to the mobile device, the selected DAISY digital talking books should be compiled into a single file in the zip format and transferred to VOD via iTunes USB transfer function. The user can change play speed from 0.5 to 2.5 times, change play pitch from 0.8 to 1.2 times, set time between play, and jump to non-consecutive pages using the page list. VOD will also display the table of contents (TOC) and allow the user to navigate the book using the TOC levels. The app automatically memorizes the position where the last play ended, and it allows the user to create bookmarks. It also optimizes the display to align the playing string in the center of the screen. Available languages are English and Japanese. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.2 or later.

Description The Eye-Pal SOLO LV is a voice output reading machine and video magnifier designed for use by individuals with low vision. This low vision reading system reads aloud almost any printed material. The unit is composed of a rectangular base with a camera mounted on at the top of an arm that extends from the center of one of the sides of the base. Some controls are located on the side of the base opposite the camera's support arm, and there is a handheld keypad that connects to the base with a cable. When a document, book or newspaper is placed on its base, the Eye-Pal SOLO LV begins to read the text aloud within seconds, regardless of the page's orientation. Reading can be controlled with the unit's controls, or hand movements made between the camera and the material can be used to pause and start the reading without touching the buttons. Up to four pages can be saved. To be used for magnification, the unit must be connected to a monitor or television. When a document is placed under the camera, the magnified text appears on the screen in a few seconds. Magnified text can be highlighted as it is read aloud. Magnified text is wrapped within the screen, and the magnification level, color, brightness, and contrast are all adjustable. In addition, small objects such as hearing aids and medicine bottles can be magnified in three increments up to 12 times their size on a 19-inch screen to facilitate reading of their labels.

Name A Special Phone
Description A Special Phone is a cell phone screen reader and a voice output dialing program for cell phone designed for use by individuals who are blind, have low vision or have cognitive or memory disabilities. This application (or app) provides audio and tactile (through vibration) feedback to ensure that the user calls the correct person. The program allows a person to establish up to six contacts who can be speed dialed. To establish a contact, the user (or an assistant) selects a person or organization for the Contacts list on the iPhone. If the contact has more than one telephone number, one number must be selected. Once the contact is established, the user selects a picture to go in one of the six speed dial squares on the screen, and sets contact preferences (including voice recording) by pressing and holding contact picture. To dial a contact, the user taps the program icon and shakes once for the first contact, twice for the second contact, and so on. Then contact’s name will be spoken to the user to verify that the user selected the intended contact. After a two second delay, the selected contact will be dialed automatically. A Special Phone also allows the user to dial a phone number that is not one of the six contacts set up in the program by using its adaptive eyes-free keypad. The user launches A Special Phone, touches anywhere on the screen and the program will tell the user which number he/she is touching. The user then taps the number again to confirm selection and repeats the process for all 10 digits. After the last digit is confirmed, the user taps the phone button in the bottom left corner to make the call. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.0 or later.

Name Ipad Mount
Description ---- CUSTOMIZED ADAPTATION --------- PURPOSE: To create a customized iPad mount for an electric wheelchair for individuals with mobility disabilities and spinal cord injuries, including people with quadriplegia. A quadriplegic used a computer to organize his activities such as painting, filmmaking, counseling, and motivational speaking. Laptops do not easily mount onto the electric wheelchair, and when the iPad became available, this individual jumped at the chance. Working with TADNSW an iPad bracket was created to be ready for use with the iPad. The wheelchair already had a bracket attached to hold the user’s iPhone, house front gate remote, and a universal remote for the TV and sound systems. After researching the dimensions of the iPad on the Internet a new bracket was designed. Another horizontal bar was attached to the wheelchair. An aluminum base was cut to hold the iPad with a disc underneath so the device could rotate. Strips of Velcro were glued to the supporting base and to the bottom of the iPad case allowing it to sit firmly in position on the base. Since the user has limited control of his arms. he uses a mouthstick to operate both the iPhone and iPad. When the user is not using the mouthstick, it sits within easy reach in a metal tube mounted on the wheelchair.

---- CUSTOMIZED ADAPTATION --------- PURPOSE: To create a customized iPad mount for an electric wheelchair for individuals with mobility disabilities and spinal cord injuries, including people with quadriplegia. A quadriplegic used a computer to organize his activities such as painting, filmmaking, counseling, and motivational speaking. Laptops do not easily mount onto the electric wheelchair, and when the iPad became available, this individual jumped at the chance. Working with TADNSW an iPad bracket was created to be ready for use with the iPad. The wheelchair already had a bracket attached to hold the user’s iPhone, house front gate remote, and a universal remote for the TV and sound systems. After researching the dimensions of the iPad on the Internet a new bracket was designed. Another horizontal bar was attached to the wheelchair. An aluminum base was cut to hold the iPad with a disc underneath so the device could rotate. Strips of Velcro were glued to the supporting base and to the bottom of the iPad case allowing it to sit firmly in position on the base. Since the user has limited control of his arms. he uses a mouthstick to operate both the iPhone and iPad. When the user is not using the mouthstick, it sits within easy reach in a metal tube mounted on the wheelchair. To combat the problem of running out of battery power an iPhone car charger kit is used to connect each device to the wheelchair battery. TITLE: iPad Mount. JOURNAL: TAD Journal.

Name Bci Music
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of an adapted brain-computer interface (BCI) device which allows individuals with paralysis and/or severe disabilities play music by brain power alone. Developed by Eduardo Miranda at the University of Plymouth Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) in the United Kingdom, this BCI device allows individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, muscular disorders, and paralysis to participate in creating music. Miranda’s instrument allows individuals with paralysis to play music using only their thoughts. The device consists of a specially developed EEG system. Users are trained to focus on a repeated stimulus, pushing a button, for example, which allows the system and the user to associate particular brain signals with specific tasks. The device detects the unique pattern in the EEG associated with the particular stimulus, and can trigger a musical note or melody when the pattern is detected. The user can even change the intensity of the stimulus, like pushing the button harder, by varying the intensity of attention. Thus far, Miranda and his team have only been able to successfully develop a four-button system, but it is certainly enough to create music and could prove to be therapeutic for patients with brain and spinal cord injuries.

Name Eye-Controlled Laptop
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of a eye-motion control human-machine interface laptop for individuals with disabilities. The Swedish firm Tobii, which specializes in eye control, teamed up with Lenovo to craft 20 prototype Windows 7 laptops with eye control sensors built-in which were presented at CeBIT 2011. One demo the company set up was an Expose-style layout of all open windows, and users were able to target the smallest (Calculator in this case) consistently. The level of precision was verified with a simple game the firms created where the user blows up asteroids before they impact Earth just by looking at them. The smallest rocks were only a few pixels wide, and the users at the show were consistently successfully. Tobii and Lenovo anticipate that they will not be able to bring this concept to market for at least two years, and they need to identify a partner. Tobii says that there's a trade-off between sensor size and accuracy; the prototype has a sizable hump on the back and a roughly inch-wide strip running directly below the display, both of which are impractical for a truly portable machine. The sensor should be below the display, and it could be made quite a bit thinner—no wider than the bezel below a notebook's current display. AUTHOR: Chris Ziegler.

Name Sniff Controller
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of a sniff controller for individuals with paralytis and disabilities ranging from quadriplegia to “locked-in-syndrome.” Individuals who are paralyzed from the neck down may be able to guide their movements by sniffing into tubes. The nerve regions that receives signals from the roof the mouth/soft palate that control the ability to sniff are often unaffected by paralytic injuries and disorders. The scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, devised a new sniff controller that uses tubes placed up the nose to measure sniff-triggered changes in nasal air pressure. Individuals with severe disabilities were able to navigate an electric wheelchair, control a mouse cursor, play simple computer games, utilize an interface to write email and surf the Internet. Individuals with Locked-in Syndrome were able to write text with the device as well. While promising, the sniff modality results vary based on the abilities of the patient physically and mentally to learn to use the device; however, the device may still be useful to many individuals and prove much simpler to implement than techniques which try to control external objects by direct brain activity or brain-computer interface.

Name Diy Mouse From Wii Remote
Description ---- DO IT YOURSELF ENTRY --------- PURPOSE: To create a do-it-yourself mouse for individuals with hand disabilities. First the Wii remote needs to be disassembled in order to reach the button actuators in which to solder the ADSL cable. Step 1: To disassemble the remote: (1) Dismount the battery cap you will see two screws, (2) with the screw driver (a special one bought on eBay for one dollar was used) unscrew the screws, (3) this will allow the remote to be taken apart, (4) the golden circles are where the ADSL cable will be welded on. Second, the Bubble Wrap keychain needs to be disassembled in order to reach the button actuators in which to the solder the ADSL cable. The keychain popping buttons will be an extension of the Wii remote buttons. Step 2: To disassemble the keychain: (1) On the back of the keychain are two screws, unscrew these and dismantle the keychain; (2) dispose of the battery (it is not needed); (3) the golden circles are where the ADSL cable will be welded on. Step 3: What to do with the ADSL cable. The ADSL cable will make an extension of the Wii remote buttons: (1) Weld cable by cable, at the golden ports on the disassembled Wii remote (each port will have two cables); (2) Each port of the remote will need to match with a port of the keychain (Only buttons “A”, “B”, “1”, “2” were paired). Step 4: Assemble the remote, keychain and head-mount. The process of assembling the device is the same as disassembling except a small hole needs to be drilled at one side of the remote case and the keychain in order to have a place for the cable. Isolating tape is used at the button golden ports to prevent them from making contact with the original plastic carbon buttons. The final step is to attach the remote to the head-mount. TOOLS: 1 Wii remote (from Nintendo), 1 Bubble Wrap keychain (from ThinkGeek), 30 centimeters of ADSL cable (from eBay), 1 Bluetooth adapter for computer (from eBay), 1 plastic headset or similar (from eBay), 1 wireless Wii sensor bar (from Nintendo), cable scissors, soldering equipment, isolating tape, and small drill. SKILLS REQUIRED: Ability to assemble and disassemble electronic devices and knowledge of soldering techniques. AUTHOR: beackmaniax. TITLE: Mouse for people with hand disabilities.

Name Keyboard Rest
Description ---- CUSTOMIZED ADAPTATION --------- PURPOSE: To create a custom adapted keyboard rest for an individual with autism and communication disabilities. This individual uses his computer as his way of “speaking” using a special keyboard with large to keys to type in words, one letter at a time. The individual’s motor control and visual control were best when the keyboard was on an angle. Unable to locate a commercially available stand to meet his needs, a custom adapted keyboard stand was designed and created. A simple wooden stand with a lip which fits the keyboard and raises it to an angle of about 24 degrees was created from plywood. TITLE: Simple but effective. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 30, Number 3, July 2010: p. 14-15. PAGES: 3 with cover.

Name Siafu Pc For The Blind
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of an computer display and keyboard for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Siafu is a tactile computer display that combines the standard braille display with a new screen that can present text, braille or graphics in three-dimensional relief. The tactile screen's surface utilizes a conceptual material called Magneclay, an oil-based synthetic agent that has the ability to reshape itself into any shape via a controlled electromagnetic field. Using the Mageneclay, the Siafu can create Braille or raised text on the screen for reading and even pictures in relief. As long as the charges acting upon it remain stable, the Magneclay will hold its structural rigidity, allowing it to be touched without deformation. There is a 9-key braille keyboard and a standard refreshable braille display directly below the screen. TITLE: Metamophing Computer Interfaces. WEBSITE: Yanko Design.

Name Intel Mind-Reading Software
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create prototype software that can read the minds of individuals with disabilities and be used as an alternative form of augmentative and alternative communication. Intel’s mind-reading software uses MRI scans to determine what items people are thinking about and what parts of the people’s brain is being activated as he or she thinks. According to Intel Labs researcher Dean Pomerleau, in the tests the software guess with 90 percent accuracy which of two words a person was thinking about. Eventually this technology could assist individuals with severely disabilities communicate. Furthermore, Pomerleau perceives this technology as a step toward mind-controlled technology in the future. Thus far the results are limited to expensive and bulky fMRI equipment and the technology has not been adapted to analyze abstract thoughts. The system works best when a person is first scanned while thinking of a dozen different concrete nouns (i.e. words like “bear” or “hammer”). When the test subjects are asked to pick one of two new terms and think about it, the software then uses earlier results as a baseline to determine what the person is thinking. The software works by analyzing the shared attributes of different words. For example, a person who is thinking of a bear uses the same parts of the brain that light up when he or she thinks of a puppy or something else furry. Additionally, a person thinking of a bear also shows activity in the amygdale—the home of the fight-or-flight response in the brain. TITLE: Intel Shows Off Mind-Reading Software. WEBSITE: Fox News.

Name Roller Mouse Free
Description The Roller Mouse Free is a mouse designed for use by individuals with repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis. The unit fits immediately adjacent to the keyboard or laptop, which places the mousing controls just a few inches below the home keys, keeping the user's hands within a small work area and eliminating large reaching motions as the user's elbows remain by the user's side. The unit is controlled with an unflexed hand, so there is no need to clutch, grasp, or hold the unit in order to navigate the cursor. The user's fingertips roll a narrow bar both up and down and from side to side simultaneously to navigate the cursor over the entire screen, with very little friction or resistance. The elimination of finger flexing avoids activity through the carpal tunnel. The mouse buttons are centered beneath the keyboard home keys, so mouse control is equidistant from either hand, encouraging ambidextrous use. The unit has on board drivers with seven button functions and a USB connector. A wrist rest is included. COMPATIBILITY: For use with laptop or desktop Macintosh or personal (PC) computers. DIMENSIONS: 15 x 4.5 inches with wrist rests, 15 x 3 inches without wrist rests. WARRANTY: Return within 30 days for a refund.

Name Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard
Description The Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard is a keyboard with tactile keys designed for use by individuals who benefit from tactile feedback, including touch typists who are blind or have low vision. Each key is built on an individual Alps mechanical switch, which provides tactile feedback and audible clicks when the key is pressed. The keyboard also allows faster typing speeds, as anti-ghosting circuitry (also called n-key rollover) allows the user to type faster without missing or added letters. The key layout includes Eject and Volume keys. Symbols such as the trademark and copyright symbols and euro, pound, and yen signs are printed right on the Option keys. The user holds down the Option key for the bottom-right characters, or Shift-Option for the top-right characters. Keys are laser etched so labels never wear off. The unit has a USB 2.0 in-keyboard hub with 3 ports for attaching USB peripherals such as MP3 players, keyring hard drives, joysticks, and mice. The keyboard has an Apple layout, but for PC users, a downloadable driver changes the Mac's Command and Option keys into Alt and Windows keys. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible or Apple Macintosh computers.

Name Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard
Description The Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard is a modified ergonomic keyboard that makes it easier to use a keyboard with a mouse. On this keyboard, the numeric keypad is on the left, so the mouse (not included) is closer to the alphabetic keys and, therefore, easier to reach when it is placed to the right of the keyboard. This allows the user's right arm to be in a relaxed neutral position when using the mouse, and reduces the need to remove the right hand from the mouse in order to operate Enter, Del, Page Up, Page Down, arrows, and other keys in the numeric keypad. Other modifications in this keyboard include duplicate Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Del, and arrow keys on the right; full size arrows, Del, Fs, Ctrl, and Alt keys; an extra Del key at the left end of the spacebar to allow left hand operation while the right hand is on the mouse; tactile bumps on often used keys such as Del, End, Page Down, Ctrl, and down arrow to aid operation by touch; hot keys for one touch access to the Internet, e-mail, media player, volume control, standby, power off, and other functions; notebook computer-type key mechanisms; flat key caps. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible, Macintosh, and Linux- and Unix-based computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For all computers a USB port is required. For personal computers (PCs) require Windows XP for full functionality; some hotkeys on the top row may not work in other Windows versions. For Macintosh, Unix, and Linux, all keys are functional except for some hotkeys on the top row. For Macintosh, the Windows key is the Mac key, the eject key is pressing and holding F12, and Num Lock is locked on. DIMENSIONS (HxDxW): 0.5 x 6.25 x 15.4 inches. COLOR: Black keys with white characters and silver frame.

Name Accessible Aquarium
Description PROTOTYPEPURPOSE: To create more engaging, dynamic exhibits for museums science centers, zoos, and aquaria for individuals with visual impairments. The Accessible Aquarium project combines the fields of psychology, computing, music, and assistive technology to develop cutting-edge bio-tracking and behavior- analysis techniques to provide input for multimedia auditory displays, music, and sonifications (use of sound to convey information about data to the listener). The first adaptation is for use with aquariums. The Accessible Aquarium uses a camera with recognition software that tracks objects based on their shape and color. The software then links each movement to different instruments that change in pitch and tempo as the fish patrol the tank. Fish that move toward the surface have a higher pitch. The faster they move, the faster the tempo. TITLE: Accessible Aquarium. WEBSITE: Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. REF: http://gtcmt.coa.gatech.edu/?p=634.

Name Switchmouse Usb
Description SwitchMouse USB is a mouse emulator and switch or joystick input interface designed for use by individuals with upper extremity or severe physical disabilities or spinal cord injury. This interface allows the user to connect switches to any computer to operate various computer programs by translating switch activation into mouse clicks or button depressions. The individual movements of a conventional mouse are simulated by either a joystick or several single switches, which are directly connected via ports. Instead of moving the mouse, the respective movement (up, down, left, right etc.) is initiated by a switch or joystick. Single switches can also be connected for mouse buttons and special functions such as drag-and-drop and double click. The joystick's trigger contact can be assigned different functions. Speed and acceleration of the mouse pointer are adjustable via two controllers.

Name Computer Interactive Reminiscence And Conversation Aid (Circa)
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: Based in an interactive multimedia computer system this prototype aims to stimulate persons with dementia and memory disabilities to have more enjoyable and rewarding conversations between their caregivers. A team of searchers from Scotland has developed a Computer Interactive Reminiscence and Conversation Aid (CIRCA). CIRCA is compromised of a simple touch-screen with easy-to-follow instructions and requires no IT competence. When switched on, CIRCA displays a choice of three random categories (entertainment, local life, etc.). After selecting a category, the user is then given a choice of “music”, “photo”, or “video”. The user’s selection results in CIRCA calling up images, video or sound clips from a database. The multimedia from the database acts a memory trigger and a conversation prompt. CIRCA is equipped with a “stop and talk” button which allows the system to be frozen at any point. CIRCA creates a feeling of a “shared” experience between the consumer and his or her caregiver. Moreover, the easy-to-use touch screen and prompts from the CIRCA system allow the consumer to be more in control of his or her experience and less dependent on the caregiver.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: A new software application, “Locabulary”, available for download free through Apple’s iTunes Store allows individuals with communication disabilities to their iPhone to speak when they are unable. Created by an collaboration between a team of clinicians at the MDA clinic at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, AL and the design firm PUSH Product Design; the Locabulary application transforms the iPhone into an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device by making groups of words available to the user depending on their location at the time. Locabulary allows users to construct sentences by manipulating the touch screen on their iPhone to select from menus of location-specific words. The phone then speaks the selected words. The Locabulary features two different text sizes; a quick-phrase list containing general conversation words; an assistance list that allows users to ask for help; a moods list permitting users to broadcast their current mood status; and is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch (older versions of iPod do not have external speakers, but they can be added through the headphone jack). In the future, designers are working on a “Locabulary Lite” to be offered as an improvement to the original and still free. TITLE: Pocket-sized ACC: Locabulary lets your iPhone talk for you.

Name Adapted Computer Keyboard
Description PROTOTYPEPURPOSE: To design a customized computer keyboard for an individual who is legally blind and has fine motor skill disabilities. Initial tests included two visual and two motor skill tests to determine the consumer’s abilities so the keyboard would meet all specified needs. The final design included keys that were large enough and spaced so the consumer would be able to identify and depress only one key at a time. The size of the lettering was also increased to accommodate the consumer’s visual disabilities. The total number of keys was reduced to 49 from the standard 104: the numbers 0-9, letters A-Z, and six punctuation keys: Return, Space, Backspace, Shift, Caps-lock, a key to start the e-mail application, and a key to start an Internet browser. The consumer requested that the keys be arranged in alphabetical order. Key size, spacing, and layout were determined based on tests of the consumer’s mobility and reach, ability to depress keys of certain sizes and spacing, and ability to read letters of different sizes, stroke widths, and color patterns. The team also determined that the consumer typically depresses a key for approximately three seconds for a keystroke and requires a concave key surface to prevent fingers from sliding off the keys. The curvature of the keyboard was modified to match the consumer’s reach patterns. The switching mechanism used in the keyboard design is a flexible printed circuit board (PCB). This mechanism uses three Mylar or Kapton sheets. The bottom sheet is connected to the short slot in the encoder, and the top sheet is connected to the long slot in the encoder. The middle sheet is used as a spacer sheet with strategically placed holes. When a key is depressed it pushes down a rubber dome, which then makes contact with a particular node on the first sheet, and finally makes contact with another node through the spacer sheet, thus closing the circuit. The flexible PCB design was done in AutoCAD to ensure the nodes lined up exactly with the locations of the centers of each key. An existing fully-functional keyboard encoder was used and the new keyboard layout was programmed using Microsoft’s Keyboard Layout Creator. The keys and keyboard frame were manufactured from delrin, chosen for its high strength to resist frame deflection and its low coefficient of friction to resist key binding. The keyboard frame was made with extra internal supports to stiffen the structure in case the consumer hits the frame instead of the keys. The keys were made using a CNC machine, and were designed with a flat surface to prevent them from spinning in place. The user has been given a detailed user’ manual that includes installation instructions as well as key identification for keys with non-alphanumeric symbols. The total cost of the project was approximately $550. TITLE: Adapted Computer Keyboard. JOURNAL: NSF 2006 Engineering Senior Design Projects to Aid Persons with Disabilities.

PROTOTYPEPURPOSE: To design a customized computer keyboard for an individual who is legally blind and has fine motor skill disabilities. Initial tests included two visual and two motor skill tests to determine the consumer’s abilities so the keyboard would meet all specified needs. The final design included keys that were large enough and spaced so the consumer would be able to identify and depress only one key at a time. The size of the lettering was also increased to accommodate the consumer’s visual disabilities. The total number of keys was reduced to 49 from the standard 104: the numbers 0-9, letters A-Z, and six punctuation keys: Return, Space, Backspace, Shift, Caps-lock, a key to start the e-mail application, and a key to start an Internet browser. The consumer requested that the keys be arranged in alphabetical order. Key size, spacing, and layout were determined based on tests of the consumer’s mobility and reach, ability to depress keys of certain sizes and spacing, and ability to read letters of different sizes, stroke widths, and color patterns.

Name Camera Mouse
Description Camera Mouse is a mouse emulator program designed for use by individuals with severe physical or neurological disabilities, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or upper extremity amputation. This program allows the user to control the mouse pointer on a computer through head movement. To use the software, a USB video camera (webcam) is connected to the computer, with the camera placed on the monitor and focused at the user. The user's moving image appears in the Camera Mouse window. A mouse click over one of the user's facial features, such as the inside edge of an eyebrow or eye or the area between the nose and the mouth, selects that feature for tracking. A small green square appears on the user's image over the feature being tracked, and the square moves with the user's head movements. The program takes over control of the mouse pointer on the screen after four seconds, or with the press the Scroll Lock key or the Control key. As the user's head moves the mouse pointer moves accordingly. Control returns to the physical mouse if it is moved or if the Scroll Lock key or Control key are pressed. Clicking is done using dwell time, by holding the mouse pointer within a small area of the screen for a second or two. Alternatively, clicking can be done using the mouse button or a switch. Settings can be adjusted by clicking on a button at the bottom of the window. COMPATIBILTIY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP or Vista operating system; standard USB video camera.

Name Keyboard Wedge
Description CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: Provide a custom adaptation to a standard keyboard for use by an individual with cerebral palsy. Due to the type of typing aid used by this individual, the most effective position of a keyboard needed to be at a 30 degree angle from the desk. This adaptation allows the individual to guide the typing aid directly towards the keys rather than having to bend his wrists to reach the keyboard. A clear sheet of acrylic was used to make the keyboard wedge, using a jig to heat and bent the acrylic in the right spots. The wedge has a lip on the front to keep the keyboard in position, as well as a non-slip material on the angled service to reduce the change that the keyboard will move under pressure from the typing pointer. TITLE: Accessing a keyboard. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 29, Number 1, March 2009: p. 7 PAGES: 2. (including cover).

Name Salsa Script Authoring For Sal
Description Salsa is a voice output program designed for use with individuals learning braille. This program reads braille files created by many braille translators and editors, including DBT and MegaDots (see entries), as well as programs such as Braille 2000, PokaDot, and others. To create lessons for SAL, the instructor creates the braille using the desired method and reads the braille into Salsa. The program shows the braille lesson on screen in Braille View. Color coding indicates Nemeth Math Braille and Literary Braille. Small blue underlining indicates where Salsa has determined that two or more cells are combined to have a single meaning. For example, in the illustration to the right, the two cells "dots 4-5" and "t-h-e sign" are combined to have the meaning "t-h-e-s-e sign." The software automatically determines where such cells are combined and what each word and cell on the page says. All that is required of the instructor is telling Salsa whether the page is written in English Literary Braille or Nemeth Math Braille, and the software does the rest. Using Braille View, the user can change the braille code from English Literary to Nemeth Math, or vice-versa, and the software automatically re-determines the meaning of each word and cell. Switching to Words View enables the user to ensure that the software has properly interpreted each word on the page. Corrections can be made where necessary. The program also gives the flexibility to control how each word is spoken when the student presses that word on SAL. Cells View, like Words View, offers complete control over what SAL says when a user pushes to read a word. Cells view is used to control what SAL says on the second press (on most pages) that the student uses to ask SAL to spell a word. The Page Properties view shows an overview of how SAL will behave when a page is loaded. For example, the user can choose to set SAL's "Response to Reading Presses" to make SAL read cells as they are pressed, or read words on the first press and spell them on the second. It is usually necessary to set a Page Name here, so that SAL will identify the page correctly when it is inserted. It is also often helpful to add Instructions for the student. Map View is used to tell Salsa where there are activities. Using the mouse, or a connected SAL unit, the user selects the area for each activity and each answer within it. Activity View is used to add instructions for each activity, when this is needed. Activity View also provides a way to remove activities or answers, and to re-arrange the order of them. This software provides the ability to create the braille pages for SAL on the user'a braille embosser. It also allows the user to create barcode labels for these sheets on almost any laser or inkjet printer. The software comes with extensive online help, a CD-ROM containing more valuable information resources, a template to help apply barcode labels accurately, and a serial cable to connect a SAL unit to a computer.

Users place themselves in front of the screen for a one-time calibration, after which the system is fully automatic. It operates in nearly all light conditions and for users with glasses or contact lenses. A large track box (the imaginary box within which the user can move his or her head) allows the user to move freely without having to worry about interrupted tracking or diminished functionality. If the user moves outside the track box, the unit resumes tracking the user again as soon as the user reenters the box.

Name Languagelinks: Syntax Assessment And Intervention
Description LanguageLinks is a language tutorial and assessment evaluation test designed for use with children in grades Kindergarten through eight with autism, developmental disabilities, language-learning disabilities, low vision, or hearing disabilities. This program offers a comprehensive, research-based approach to syntax assessment and intervention. It is a six-level series which takes children from the early two-word stage through mastery of more than 75 grammatical forms. LanguageLinks features Optimized Intervention technology, a system that tailors instructional delivery to each student's unique needs. The program begins with an assessment and then tracks detailed information about a student's performance and automatically guides the student through the curriculum. Reinforcement animations are not only entertaining, but also include enriched language which has been shown to facilitate language development. At the end of each session, instructors can quickly review a student's performance and and print comprehensive reports to ensure accountability. The software is designed to be used independently, so students can benefit from language instruction in their own classrooms. The first level introduces the possessive “s,” trains regular noun plurals, the determiner “No,” pronouns, and copular “Be.” The next level in the progression trains third-person pronouns, location determiners, pegation and present progressive and regular past tense verb forms. The third level continues with plural determiners, pronouns, and noun/verb agreement using present progressive verb forms. The fourth level trains more pronoun forms, negation, and noun/verb agreement. The fifth level in the series trains additional pronouns, future modal “Will,” and third-person noun/verb agreement. The final level trains regular and reflexive pronouns, possessive “s,” and present passive. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers or Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For computers running Windows: Windows® System Requirements: 300 megaHertz (MHz) processor or faster; Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM ; 40 MB available disk space; Windows- compatible sound card; 8x speed CD-ROM; and a monitor with 800 x 600 resolution.

Name Portable Stand For Hospital Computer
Description CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To enable a child in a hospital to use a computer while sitting or lying in bed or from a wheelchair. TITLE: Hospital Computer Stand. The concept for the stand was based on a cantilevered hospital bed table modified to accommodate the weight of the computer components while still being easily adjustable. Square metal tubing was used to make a stand for the table; the stand included a lockable metal box with two sheet metal doors at one end. The box houses a lockable gas strut with adjustable pressure, similar to those used on office chairs. A lever releases the strut , enabling the table to be raised or lowered. The box also houses to telescoping columns which support the table top. The box protects children from the moving parts and also offers storage support. It was necessary that the base fit under all hospital beds and be fitted with the largest possible casters to accommodate a variety of floor surfaces. To accommodate the casters and keep the overall height of the stand within the required range, the metal tube frame was cut short at each corner and four metal plates were welded to the corners to hold the casters. The keyboard tray can be used by a child in a sitting position or while lying down. To accommodate the lying position, the tray slides out and unhooks from the frame for use in a vertical position. The back of the monitor is equipped with a ball and socket joint to enable it to be used in any required position. A large handle, made of 20 millimeter (mm) stainless steel tubing bent to shape, was bolted to the metal box to serve as a handle to aid with mobility. TITLE: Hospital Computer Stand. JOURNAL: TAD Journal. REF: Volume 27, Number 3, October 2007: p. 14-15. PAGES: 3. (including cover).

This system includes scoring and administration software for a 24-item self-assessment inventory in which individuals report the amount of trouble they are having with communication or noises in various everyday situations. Benefit is calculated by comparing the individual's reported difficulty in the unaided condition with the amount of difficulty reported when using amplification. The inventory produces scores for four subscales: Ease of Communication (EC), Reverberation (RV), Background Noise (BN), and Aversiveness (AV). COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers running Windows. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 3.1 or higher operating system. WARRANTY: Returnable with a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Description Accessibility Valet is web site accessibility evaluation software designed for use by managers and web site designers. This program helps ensure accessibility by analysing markup for conformity to web accessibility guidelines, specifically Section 508 and W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0. The software is available in Desktop and Server editions. Reports are generated on two levels. Level 1 reports are for developers. They are generated by an automatic analysis of markup, and highlight possible accessibility problems. Warnings are shown where they arise in the markup, and include links to the exact guidelines that are violated. Level 2 reports are for management and QA (quality assurance) processes. They are generated from a Level 1 report after the user checks the warnings and decides what needs to be done. The user can, for example, override a warning and declare the guideline to be satisfied, identify repair work to satisfy the guideline, or make an informed decision not to conform to the guideline. The Level 2 report records these choices and generates an executive summary. COMPATATIBILITY: The desktop edition is available for use on IBM and compatible computers running Windows or for Unix/Linux. The server edition is available for for Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris.

Description PACAPACA (Personal Augmentative Alternative Communication Aid) is a communicator program designed for use by children or adults with communication disabilities. This program is available in Hebrew and multilingual versions for PDAs (personal digital assistants), mobile devices, and desktop computers. The program uses a pre-defined dictionary of words along with their speech sounds. Each word in the dictionary is assigned to one of 8 available categories. The user sees the list in a standard layout, and can switch categories using the category side bar. When a word is chosen from the list, it disappears from the list and appears in the sentence bar. Words chosen subsequently appear after the previous ones, forming a sentence. Pressing a word in the sentence bar removes it from the sentence bar and returns it to the list. When the sentence is formed, the user presses the speech button and the whole sentence is spoken. A picture-based version is also available. COMPATIBILITY: For use on a personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile device, or desktop computer. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For PDAs using a Pocket PC platform.

Name New Standard Ergonomic Keyboard, Rainbow Model
Description The New Standard Ergonomic Keyboard, Rainbow Model is an ergonomic keyboard designed for use by individuals with learning or upper extremity disabilities. This alpha-numeric keyboard is a 53-key, USB-interface keyboard alternative to a standard Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard offers all the functions of a full-sized 104-key keyboard and is designed to reduce the learning curve for touch typing as well as make the task comfortable. The logical design of the keyboard reduces the number of keys so they are all within easy reach, then lays them out where the fingers naturally move for comfort, speed and accuracy. The letters are arranged alphabetically in such a way that the most common sequences are the easiest to type, even for one-handed typing. The alphabet is broken into small, familiar groups of four or five letters. The shift keys are centralized for operation by the index fingers or thumbs instead or relying on the little fingers, and tactile landmarks lead the hands to an obvious home position. The keys are color-coded to aid in learning the layout. The keyboard requires no drivers and has three-position slope adjustment (flat, +10 degrees, and -10 degrees). COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible notebook or desktop computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: USB port and Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista. For additional character sets, Microsoft Office is required. DIMENSIONS: 12.5 x 5 x 7/8 inches thick. WEIGHT: 13 ounces. COLOR: White casing with keys colored by function. Key labels are black.

Description Skippy is a word prediction program designed for use by individuals with use of only one hand, limited hand function, or dyslexia. This typing assistant can be used in text-based Windows applications, including word processors, email and chat software, Web browsers, databases, and spreadsheets. Whenever the beginning of a word is typed, the software presents a list of words that begin with the already typed character(s).

Name IBM Viascribe
Description IBM ViaScribe is captioning software for digital audio and video, designed for use by individuals who are deaf or hard or hearing. This software creates a written transcript of existing audio or video content, and automatically captions live audio content as it occurs. It can be used in classrooms, business meetings, and other situations in which presentations are made. The speaker spends approximately an hour creating a voice profile that helps the program learn his or her particular speech patterns. During the presentation, the speaker speaks into a wireless microphone that transmits the audio to the program's speech recognition software. Captions are generated in real time, presented on a screen and saved for later use. The program digitizes the speech, producing both a transcription and an audio recording. The audience can obtain a raw, unedited transcript immediately following the presentation. Speakers can then edit the transcript to correct recognition errors or provide additional information, and post the notes on the Web in various accessible formats, including searchable transcripts, synchronous multimedia and digital audio. This helps enable greater access for those who are deaf, hard of hearing or who have mobility or learning disabilities. The software allows speakers to talk naturally, without interjecting punctuation marks such as "period" or "comma." When a speaker pauses, the program skips to a new line, making the screen display and resulting transcript more readable. The editing system provides the option to have speech recognition errors written out phonetically to aid in comprehension. Audio, captions, and visual information are automatically synchronized to create accessible learning materials.

Name Webadapt2Me
Description WebAdapt2Me is a large print and voice output Web browser and key modificaition program designed for use by individuals with visual, cognitive, or upper extremity disabilities. This program enlarges text, reduces visual clutter, reads Web page content aloud, and automatically adjusts keyboard sensitivity to the user's typing style. It manipulates Web pages without requiring Web developers to rewrite or change Web site content. The program can magnify everything on a Web page up to 250 percent, expand the space between lines of text, remove distracting backgrounds and animation, present text using high contrast colors, reformat pages into a single column, and read text aloud. This program can support English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. For users with hand-movement disabilities, including those with tremors, arthritis, or who have had a stroke, the program's keyboard utility samples typing, detects errors such as holding keys down too long or double-clicking letters, and automatically adjusts the keyboard sensitivity to accommodate the user's typing style. Magnification preferences can also help people with hand-movement limitations navigate the Internet by making it easier to select and use browser controls. The program can be launched in a standard Web browser.

Description IBM aDesigner is Web site accessibility software designed for use by web designers to aid in designing web sites that are accessible to individuals who are blind or color blind or have low vision. To help Web designers identify potential design issues, including issues of usability as well as accessibility, this simulation tool enables designers to experience their site as a user who is blind, color blind, or has low vision might experience it. The simulator can make adjustments such as blurring or darkening the Web page's text and images to represent certain vision impairments. The original page is displayed next to the simulated page so the designer can compare and contrast the views. The program evaluates Web page elements that may affect usability, such as color contrast, font size, alternate text for images and page links. It has a site-web analyzer to test the site for compliance with established U.S. and Japanese accessibility guidelines, reporting and explaining possible violation. The analyzer summarizes the evaluation results of gathered pages to compute the overall rating of the whole Web site and provides a graphical representation of that site's statistics. Analysis results can be exported to text files and images, enabling smooth communication between administrators and designers. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 500 megaHertz (MHz) processor; 256 megabytes (MB) memory; 100 MB of available hard disk space; SVGA 800x600 or higher display; Windows 2000 or XP operating system; Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher; English and Japanese language support.

Name Electric Wheelchair Power Socket
Description DO IT YOURSELF ENTRY --- PURPOSE: To enable an individual with communication disabilities who uses a powered wheelchair to power a laptop computer with augmentative communication software using the wheelchair battery. Speech software was needed during school hours; however, the computer battery did not have sufficient capacity to meet the demand. To be heard in class, powered speakers were also needed, which further diminished operating time. A portable solution was necessary to enable the speech software to be used as needed. The wheelchair uses two 12-volt direct current (DC) high-capacity batteries wired in series. A standard cigarette lighter socket was used to tap power from one of the batteries and was mounted on the top of the battery case. Tapping the battery directly avoided both the electrical noise generated by the chair controller and the need to modify the chair's charging system. A standard 150-watt 12VDC-120VAC inverter was plugged into the cigarette lighter socket, allowing the chair battery to be used for the computer. A wooden box was mounted on the back of the chair to hold both the inverter and the power supply. This could also be used to power a cell phone or similar low-powered electrical device. The speakers had to be mounted facing forward and were easily removable, but did not extend past the chair wheels when mobile. A wooden box was used that the speakers dropped into, but were still easily removable. The front and back were cut out for the grille and wires. The box was mounted on a metal frame made from two pieces of three-quarter-inch flat steel stock. One piece was bent 90 degrees to support the speaker box. The two frame pieces were welded to a 3-inch hinge that allows speakers to swivel behind the chair when needed. The frames were attached to the chair using stainless steel hose clamps.

Name New Standard Ergonomic Keyboard, Professional Model
Description The New Standard Ergonomic Keyboard, Professional Model, is an ergonomic keyboard designed for use by individuals with learning or upper extremity disabilities. This alpha-numeric keyboard is a 53-key, USB-interface keyboard alternative to a standard Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard offers all the functions of a full-sized 104-key keyboard and is designed to reduce the learning curve for touch typing as well as make the task comfortable. The logical design of the keyboard reduces the number of keys so they are all within easy reach, then lays them out where the fingers naturally move for comfort, speed and accuracy. The letters are arranged alphabetically in such a way that the most common sequences are the easiest to type, even for one-handed typing. The alphabet is broken into small, familiar groups of four or five letters. The shift keys are centralized for operation by the index fingers or thumbs instead or relying on the little fingers, and tactile landmarks lead the hands to an obvious home position. The keyboard requires no drivers and has three-position slope adjustment (flat, +10 degrees, and -10 degrees). COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible notebook or desktop computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: USB port and Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista. For additional character sets, Microsoft Office is required. DIMENSIONS: 12.5 x 5 x 7/8 inches thick. WEIGHT: 13 ounces. COLOR: Silver casing and black keys with white markings.

Description Thunder-RJ ScreenReader-on-a-Stick is a screen reader program designed for use by individuals with blindness or low vision or who have learning disabilities. This device is intended for those who are new to using a computer or who need a simpler alternative to more comprehensive programs. This screen reader works almost entirely using the standard keyboard arrow keys. Features include echoing of each keystroke and word; selective reading of the screen by character, word, line, or entire page; selective reading of menus; and, reading of dialog boxes and buttons. This screen reader works with Microsoft Word, WordPad, Notepad, Desktop, Explorer, My Computer, Outlook and Outlook Express, and Excel. It also includes a Web browser that breaks up complex Web pages into sequential links and lines of text that can be navigated with the arrow keys. The system also includes two high-quality SAPI-5 compliant voices: NeoSpeech Kate and Paul. (These voices require installation via the accompanying CD. Otherwise, Thunder-RJ uses the SAPI voice already on the computer, such as SAPI SAM.) Thunder-RJ is available in a choice of configurations: The first configuration provides the screenreader on an MP3 player/USB thumb drive stick, which enables the screenreader stick to be a stand-alone MP3 player, enabling the user to save MP3 music files, e-books, or podcasts on the USB drive feature of the stick, and listen to them through the included ear buds or other headphones. For screenreading, audio comes from the regular PC speakers. The USB stick is available with a choice of 512 megabytes (MB) or one gigabyte (GB) of storage capacity. The second option is designed for use with computers without an accessible headphone jack if headphone use is desired for screenreading. The screenreader is packaged on a USB sound card stick that is also a USB 256 MB thumb drive stick. This small USB device routes all sound from the PC to a headphone jack on the device; however, it does not act as an MP3 player. The system can also be purchased as software only for one computer or for one owner with multiple computers. COMPATIBILITY: For use with computers using Windows 2000/XP/Vista. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: CD Drive for installing voices. OPTIONS: MP3 Player/USB drive stick for second configuration.

Name Wheel Of Sounds
Description Wheel of Sounds is a cause and effect training program designed for use by individuals with cognitive disabilities. This switch-activated game plays an object's sound when the object is selected by the spinner. The spinner is activated by step scanning, timed scanning, a single switch press, a mouse click, or touch-screen. Once the picture is selected and the sound is played, a new picture will take its place. Wheel of Sounds gives the user the capability of setting the field of pictures to display two, three, or four pictures at a time, creating customized games by selecting only certain pictures to include in a game. Users can also optionally add their own pictures and sounds. Included with the program are separate games for pictures of various objects, a game for letters, a game for colors, and a game for numbers. Auditory scanning is built into the program. Wheel of Sounds can also be used as a matching activity. When "Matching" is turned on, one of the pictures in the field of pictures is copied to the center of the spinner. The user must then select the picture that matches the one in the center of the spinner. If the picture chosen does not match, a voice will tell the user that the picture does not match and the sound associated with the picture is not played. If the picture matches, the computer will say "very good" and will play the sound associated with the picture. Statistics on the percentages of correct and incorrect matches can be saved if desired to monitor the user's progress. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 98 or higher operating system with a minimum 233 megaHertz (MHz) processor, 32 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM), 50 MB of hard drive space and a 16-bit color monitor.

Name Pharmabraille & Pharmabraille-In-A-Box
Description PharmaBraille and PharmaBraille-In-A-Box is a braille translation program designed to produce braille medication labels for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. The system translates information about pharmaceutical products into tactile or visual braille for pharmacy labeling. PharmaBraille is an e-mail based system, and PharmaBraille-in-a-Box is a software CD. In the e-mail based version, the pharmacist e-mails information about the medication, such as product name, strength, and product ID. A "robot" automatically translates the information, and it is returned within a few minutes. Information can be translated into 6- or 8-dot contracted braille in a number of European languages. It can be returned as a graphical element that can be imported into Adobe Illustrator or similar design applications, allowing visual braille artwork to be placed on the package or label design, or it can be returned in a range of different formats to accommodate braille notetakers and embossers. The actual translation process is controlled by using different email accounts, whereas export formats and other commands are defined in the subject field of the email. The CD version of the program performs the same functions, but because it is a CD it may not have the most up-to-date pharmaceutical data due to the inability to update.

Description Accessible Testing System (ATS) is a voice output test program designed for use by children who are blind or have low vision, learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities, or fine motor disabilities. This testing software features computer generated speech, with a choice of voices for test content and software functions; high resolution magnification up to 16 times original size; adjustable background and text colors; on-screen highlighting by word, sentence, and section; synchronized text and speech; and keyboard shortcuts and simplified keystrokes. The software is delivered on a Windows XP Embedded platform that restricts the test taker from being able to save or copy any test content. Test data is uploaded in an encrypted format for recording and documenting the users' results, or saving the information to a memory device for secure storage. The software takes inaccessible test content and converts it into accessible materials, including XML-based test files, large print, verbal descriptive narratives, tactile images of graphical content, or braille. Test takers receive a sample test to familiarize themselves with the program features and to pre-configure the accessibility options. Upon completion of the setup wizard, the student is issued a profile code that configures the program the same way on the day of the test as it was in the practice sessions.

Name Smart Lists For Reach Interface Author
Description Smart Lists for REACH Interface Author is a word prediction program designed for use by individuals with learning, fine motor, or severe physical disabilities. This program is an add-on for the REACH Interface Author (see separate entry). With Smart Lists, when the user starts typing a word such as "lucky" by selecting the letter "L" on the REACH keyboard, the "L" key opens up showing a list of options including the "root" letter (i.e., the letter "l" in this example) plus any possible extensions (in this example the list might include la, le, li, etc.). Instead of the next letters being scattered around the keyboard, the likely letters are organized in a list, showing what has already been typed as well as possible subsequent letter(s). The user continues "typing" the word in subsequent lists presented at that location, and eventually, the list changes to a list of words. The items in the list can be presented alphabetically (for point-and-click users) or in the order of their probability of use (for persons using scanning). When scanning, the number of clicks is reduced because users make one click per letter after the first letter, instead of two (row and column). Speed can be increased because there is no row/column selection and because options are ordered by their probability. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM or compatible computer. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP or better, Pentium IV processor or better, 256 megabytes (MB) RAM, 75 MB of hard drive space, REACH Interface Author and a sound card.

Name Reach Sound-It-Out Keyboard Pack
Description The REACH Sound-It-Out Keyboard Pack is an on-screen keyboard and word prediction program designed for use by individuals with upper extremity, learning, or severe physical disabilities. This program enables the user to type phonetically. This software enables the user to find and type the desired word by selecting the sounds in that word (e.g., the phonemes) rather than the letters in that word. For example, the user points at the "ch" key and it says "ch ... chair" on the kid's phonetic keyboard or "ch" on the adult's keyboard. Select the "ch" key and the most frequently used words beginning with the "ch" sound are displayed in the word prediction windows. The individual can find out what those words are by pointing at them with the mouse to have them read aloud. Smart Phonemes (similar to AHF's Smart Keys; see entry) removes those sounds that do not follow an initial "ch" sound for those words in the current phonetic dictionary. Select the "air" sound next, and words beginning with the "chair" sounds are listed. The word "chair" is the first listed and presented with a yellow background to let you know this word is now completed. Homophones are identified by color and brief phrases are added to help the user distinguish among them (e.g., new or knew). This program is an add-on for the REACH Interface Author (see separate entry). COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM or compatible computer.

Name Armadillo Army (Models D-03400-00 & D-03400-Ed)
Description Armadillo Army is an educational game program and visual training activity designed for use by children who are blind or have low vision. This educational maze game helps students who are visually impaired practice necessary skills such as lateral eye movements, vertical eye movements, searching skills, timing skills, visual discrimination skills, peripheral detection skills, eccentric viewing skills, and eye-hand coordination. The arcade-style game has bright, large graphics for players with low vision, along with meaningful and directive sound elements that give blind players the opportunity to practice listening and discrimination skills. The game takes place in a maze, where Tex, a humanoid with a ten-gallon hat, gains points by gathering up cactus jelly, jewels, and jalapeno peppers while keeping away from blue armadillos which roll at random throughout the maze. When Tex gets enough points, he accumulates power with which he can send out a zapping ray from his finger to zap armadillos and make them disappear. As the player reaches higher levels of difficulty, he/she must also avoid a Texas tornado which threatens to gather up all the goodies as well as Tex. If Tex gets through all nine levels, he wins. The game can be played by a single player or two players. The game program is available on CD-ROM (model D-03400-00) or through electronic distribution (model D-03400-ED). COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or later operating system; 500 MegaHertz (MH) processor; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM (random access memory); Internet Explorer 5.01 or later; sound card and speakers; CD-ROM drive 14 MB of hard disk space.

Name Focus 40 Braille Display & Focus 80 Braille Display
Description Focus 40 Braille Display and the Focus 80 Braille Display are refreshable braille displays designed for use by individuals who are blind or who have low vision. The Focus 40 has 40 braille cells and the Focus 80 has 80 cells. These displays navigate the Windows environment and a new design eliminates seams between the braille cells, making the display feel like paper. The location of navigation keys, bars and buttons promotes comfort and economical hand movement. An additional Perkins-style keyboard is located behind the front panel. All buttons can be individually configured to set up hot keys for specific functions. Whiz Wheels enable the user to scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph, or pan through a document. Front panel select buttons used in combination with panning buttons, rocker bars, and cursor router keys enable the user to select a block of text, page up or down, or move to the beginning or end of a document. Ten dual-purpose hot keys give instant access to many braille and JAWS (see separate entry) commands: enable contracted braille, switch to display modes such as structured and line mode, or perform keyboard commands like TAB, SHIFT+TAB, HOME, and END. Rapid Reading Mode configures the display to use only 20 cells of braille for faster reading with minimal hand movement. VariBraille allows the user to select the firmness of the braille display. Both models connect to a desktop personal computer (PC) or laptop computer using a USB port. Both models include cables, manuals, a leather carrying case, and an adjustable laptop/keyboard stand/handle. DIMENSIONS: The Focus 40 is 13.7 x 5.3 x 1.7 inches.

Name First Verbs Sterling Edition
Description First Verbs Sterling Edition is a language and vocabulary tutorial program designed for use by children and adults with language-learning, developmental, physical, visual, or hearing disabilities, or autism. This program provides highly-structured training of early developing verbs. The program trains 50 words in developmental order, but focuses on only five words at a time. Two different animated illustrations are used in training the words. Words are presented either in isolation or with one other on the screen. Users can choose to work on a black or full-scene background. Optimized Intervention technology begins with a probe test to identify five words the student does not already know. During training, students are presented with two pictures and asked to identify one of them (e.g. "Find eating.") The program monitors each student response and automatically adjusts the training level(one through five) of each word. At the lower levels of training, a character known as the Blob reinforces correct answers with his amusing antics. At the higher levels of training, a new character named Zot uses expanded language. Zot's speech includes the use of a variety of verb inflections in varying contexts. Each time a word is mastered, a new word enters into training. At the end of each lesson, a summary of the student’s performance is presented, allowing the instructor to review the student’s progress and ensure accountability. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a set of tools that eases student management, simplifies data analysis, and offers new report-writing options. A verb card deck is included with the program. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The version for IBM and compatible computers requires a 300 MegaHertz (MHz)or faster processor; a hard drive with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM; 40 MB available disk space; a Windows compatible sound card; and an 8x speed CD-ROM.

Name First Categories Sterling Edition
Description First Categories is a language and vocabulary tutorial program designed for use by children and adults with with language-learning, developmental, physical, hearing, or visual disabilities, or autism. The program uses 60 common nouns to train six essential early categories: Animals, food, body parts, clothing, furniture, and vehicles. Activities include: Item Array- Inclusion (helps students grasp the concept of categorization by grouping items from the same category); Single Item - Inclusion (the student is asked to select an item that belongs to a particular category; Single Item - Exclusion (the student is asked to find the item that does not belong to a particular category); Build-a-Category (a single switch activity that introduces one item at a time and then allows the student to see all of the items in a category together); Robot Review (each time the student selects an item, the narrator names that item and its category); Find Four (the student is asked to find four items that belong to the same category); Magnet Match (the student is asked to match the item at the top of the screen to one of the four items at the bottom of the screen); and Pick-a-Pair (the student is asked to find two items from the same category). The program also offers Optimized Intervention technology, an assessment and training system that tailors instructional delivery to each student's unique needs. The program constantly tracks a student's performance and uses this information to provide highly individualized content. The program begins with a probe test and then progresses through the categories in developmental order. Instructors can decide whether to train using two or three choices and whether to use illustrations or photographs. Four examples of each item aid in generalizing the concept. For those who are motivated by visual simulation, animated 3-D blocks and full-scene backgrounds are offered. For learners who are easily distracted, a simple black background can be used. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a set of tools that eases student management, simplifies data analysis, and offers new report-writing options. This program can be accessed with a keyboard, touch screen, single switch, or mouse. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The version for IBM and compatible computers requires a 300 MegaHertz (MHz)or faster processor; a hard drive with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM; 40 MB available disk space; a Windows compatible sound card; and an 8x speed CD-ROM.

Name First Words Ii Sterling Edition
Description First Words II Sterling Edition is a language and vocabulary tutorial program designed to provide training of early nouns for individuals with autism, language-learning, developmental, physical, visual, or hearing disabilities. This program provides highly structured training of early developing nouns. The program trains 50 words in developmental order, but focuses on only five words at a time. Words are presented in isolation or with one other on the screen. The user can choose to work on a black or full-scene background. New Optimized Intervention technology begins with a probe test to identify five words the student does not already know. During training, students are presented with two pictures and asked to identify one of them (e.g. "Find the cow.") The program monitors each student response and then automatically adjusts the training level (one to five) of each word. At the lower levels of training, the Blob reinforces correct answers with amusing antics. At the higher levels of training, a new character named Zot uses expanded language. Zot's speech uses the nouns from training with various determiners, plurals, and prepositions. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a set of tools for student management, data analysis, and report-writing. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Windows version requires a 300 megaHertz (MHz) processor or higher; hard drive with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM; 40 MB available disk space; Windows compatible sound card; and an 8x speed CD-ROM drive.

Words are presented in isolation or with one other on the screen. The user can choose to work on a black or full-scene background. Optimized Intervention technology begins with a probe test to identify five words the student does not already know. During training, students are presented with two pictures and asked to identify one of them (e.g. "Find the cow.") The program monitors each student response and then automatically adjusts the training level(one to five) of each word. At the lower levels of training, the Blob reinforces correct answers with amusing antics. At the higher levels of training, a new character named Zot uses expanded language. Zot's speech uses the nouns from training with various determiners, plurals, and prepositions. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a set of tools for student management, data analysis, and report-writing. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Windows version requires a 300 megaHertz (MHz) processor or higher; hard drive with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM; 40 MB available disk space; a Windows compatible sound card; and an 8x speed CD-ROM. The Macintosh version requires a PowerPC with a 300 MHz or higher processor; Mac OS 8.1 or later, including OS X; 128 MB RAM (256 MB RAM for OS X); 40 MB available disk space; and an 8x speed CD-ROM drive.

Name Creature Chorus Sterling Edition
Description Creature Chorus Sterling Edition is single switch program designed to introduce the concepts of cause and effect, turn taking, visual tracking, discrete pointing, and use of a single switch for individuals with developmental, physical, or visual disabilities. The program offers nine games for use with a single switch, touch screen, or the space bar. Eight animated characters introduce the concepts of cause and effect, switch use, visual tracking, discrete pointing, and turn taking. Games range from very basic to challenging. An example of the single switch games is "Songfest," where creatures appear one at a time when a switch or the touch screen is activated. Once all the creatures are present, each switch activation causes them to perform a dance that continues until the next switch activation. A new arrangement is then created and repeated. Another game, "Shrinker," uses an animated creature and a series of shrinking balls to train pointing to a discrete area on the screen. The program also includes the Sterling Administration System, a powerful set of tools that eases student management, simplifies data analysis, and offers powerful new report-writing options. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Windows version requires a 300 megaHertz (MHz) processor or higher; hard drive with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 64 megabytes (MB) RAM; 40 MB available disk space; a Windows-compatible sound card; and 8x speed CD-ROM drive.

Name Tiger's Tale
Description Tiger's Tale is a speech training program designed for use with individuals with speech disabilities. In this program, Tiger has lost his voice and needs help looking for it. Children "talk" for Tiger and their voices are recorded to create a movie. During Tiger's search, animated characters appear and ask children questions to elicit their thoughts, suggestions, and opinions. Conversations are developed using the child's voice along with other pre-recorded voices. If a child is asked a question and does not record an answer, there is the option to click on one of the characters and the scene will continue. This allows a child who initially refuses to speak to interact with the program and gradually increase the number of replies he or she records for Tiger. In the final scene of Tiger's Tale, students click on various objects to find Tiger's voice. Afterwards, they can watch the movie and hear their own voices speaking for Tiger. These "home" movies can be saved for future viewing, and enable students to measure their progress over time. COMPATIBILITY: For use with Macintosh and IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The IBM and compatible version requires a Pentium 133 megaHertz (MHz) or faster processor; a hard drive with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later; 16 megabytes (MB) RAM; Windows compatible sound card; and a 4x speed CD-ROM drive. The Macintosh version requires a 68040 processor or PowerPC; System 7.5 or later; 8 MB Application RAM; and a 4x speed CD-ROM. Both versions also require a microphone (not included).

Name Non-Slip Keyboard Mat
Description "DO IT YOURSELF" ENTRY --- PURPOSE: To enable people with upper extremity disabilities to use a computer keyboard. For an individual with upper extremity disabilities, the force applied during typing may cause the keyboard to move about and slide around the desk. This makes it difficult to hit the keys and entering information takes longer than necessary. Cut a piece of rubberized, mesh-style shelf liner slightly larger than the keyboard, lay it on the desk top, and put the keyboard on the material. This prevents the keyboard from moving about on the desk and allows faster input without the frustration of repeated repositioning of the keyboard. MATERIALS: Roll of rubberized shelf liner. TOOLS: Scissors. SKILLS REQUIRED: Cutting to size. TITLE: Stop Things from Sliding. WEB SITE: TechConnect, Illinois Assistive Technology Project at http://www.iltech.org . REF: Ten Dollar Tech Ideas.

Name Switch Adapted Mouse
Description "DO IT YOURSELF" ENTRY --- PURPOSE: To enable individuals with upper extremity or severe physical disabilities or spinal cord injury to use a computer mouse. To adapt a mouse, disassemble the mouse. (Caution: disconnect the mouse from the computer before attempting any modifications. Electric shock can occur otherwise.) Using a screw driver, locate and remove the fastening screws on the mouse. (These are usually located on the underside of the mouse and may be hidden). Some mice require additional work to disassemble. Remove the roller ball from the mouse and check for additional retaining screws. Remove the screws if necessary. Remove the circuit board from the mouse after grounding (e.g. touch something metal before touching the board). Note the orientation of the circuit board for proper replacement when work is complete. Identify the solder points on the circuit board. These points correspond to the left click button on the mouse. One technique to assist in this process is to connect the circuit board to the computer. Next, power on the computer and place the mouse over an icon. Finally, use a needle nose pliers to short contact points on the circuit board. If a mouse click occurs on the computer, the solder points have been located. Cut the insulated wire into two three-inch sections and strip the insulation one-eighth inch from each end of the two wires. After disconnecting the circuit board from the computer, solder one end of each wire onto one of the two contact points identified. Place the circuit board back into the mouse, remembering its original orientation. Locate a spot on the mouse casing where there is ample room to place the mono jack and mark it with an X. Carefully drill a hole using a quarter-inch drill bit. Use caution while drilling to avoid damaging the circuit board. It may be helpful to remove the board prior to drilling. Solder the free end of each wire to the leads on the mono jack. Insert and fasten the jack to the mouse using the retaining nut that came with the jack. Thread the wire so it will not interfere with the mouse's' roller ball or the optical wheels. Plug the mouse into the computer and turn the power on. Plug any standard one-eighth inch switch into the jack on the mouse and press the switch; if a click occurs on the computer then work is complete. Reassemble the mouse. If the click does not occur, check solder points to make certain they are correct. MATERIALS: Standard Macintosh or IBM-compatible mouse; 26 to 30 guage stranded, insulated wire; and 1/8-inch mono jack (open circuit). TOOLS: Drill with a quarter-inch bit; soldering iron and solder; needle nose pliers; Phillips screw driver SKILLS REQUIRED: Soldering and electronics. TITLE: Adapting a Mouse for Switch Access.

This app can be installed on a range of compatible internet connected devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. The NGT Lite works together with the home, office, or mobile phone and provides a text connection in parallel with the phone call users make through the NGT Service. This parallel connection uses the internet through the broadband, Wi-Fi, or office network to send and receive the text part of the conversation while the phone call is used for voice communications. NGT Lite users can either make direct text-to-text calls with others who have the app or a textphone, or use a text relay assistant to communicate with those who do not have the app. The text relay assistant will be connected automatically to relay the call and type down the other person’s message, which will be displayed on the NGT Lite screen. With NGT Lite, users can link a TextNumber, which looks like a standard phone number, to their home, work or mobile number. When someone dials the TextNumber, the call will automatically be connected through the NGT service. As a result, people with hearing or speech impairments no longer have to tell callers to use the 18002 prefix to phone them, or carry any specialized equipment to make calls while away from their homes and offices.

Miraisens Inc., a company developed from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Tokyo., has revealed a device that allows users to move virtual 3D objects around in virtual space and "feel" them via a vibration sensor. The current technology works using a virtual reality headset, a bracelet with hardware attached (enclosed in a box), and a fingertip molding that is wired to the hardware on the wrist. The handheld molding emits vibrations on the fingertips that allow users to "feel" 3D objects in virtual space, which they see on their virtual headsets.

When prompted to take a medication, a click of the dosage button confirms that the medication was taken. If needed, one can check an earlier day in the week to ensure the medication was consumed. If a dosage was missed, the next time the app is opened, it will remind the user that he or she missed one and will display it on the weekly calendar as missed. POWER: Apple products required.

Name Ios Zoom Stylus
Description --- "DO IT YOURSELF" ENTRY ------- PURPOSE: To allow individuals with arthritis, limited fine motor skills or loss of dexterity use a stylus to activate the zoom feature on an iPad. Typically, users use a three finger double tap to activate and adjust the size of the screen to suit their needs. Individuals with limited hand use may have difficulty tapping the screen making it difficult to access the zoom feature to enlarge the screen. MATERIALS USED: Three standard size styluses, one mini size stylus, foam board, electrical tape, Exacto Knife, pencil PREPARATION: 1. The first step is to draw out and cut the foam board to place the styluses on. This picture can be used for a general outline. The frame should be just a little bit shorter than the length of the stylus. Actual size is not that important but the styluses need a solid frame to stay together. 2. Next, put the three long styluses onto the frame. The difficult part is that they all need to be at the same height to work correctly when touching the iPad. I found standing the styluses upside down to align to be the easiest way to do this. After you have the three long styluses taped onto the board, then add the mini stylus.

Description --- "DO IT YOURSELF" ENTRY ------- PURPOSE: To assist children and adults with cognitive and physical disabilities keep their fingers properly positioned on a computer mouse while pointing, clicking and maneuvering the mouse. MATERIALS USED: Plastic party rings, elastic, Velcro, and parts of children toys can be used to replicate the solution, which is best described as a loop or ring. Scissors or X-acto knife, fine grained sand paper, adhesive and/or glue-gun. All materials can be found at a craft store, party store, and hardware store. PREPARATION: 1. Remove the decorative portion of chosen object. The goal is to be left with a ring/loop-like object. 2. Ensure edges are smooth. Using the sand paper, rough up the surface of the area of the mouse where the ring/loop solution will be adhered. 3. Before attaching the modification to the mouse, consider where to place it on the mouse’s left-button. 4. Once the most ideal area has been identified, prepare the surface. Roughing up the area of the mouse where the modification will be attached with sandpaper helps the adhesive to stick. 5. A hot-glue gun provides immediate results. However, a stronger adhesive should be considered for long-term usage. Author: Mike LaManna

Name Growing With Timocco Home Edition
Description Growing with Timocco Home Edition is a set of five games created for children to practice and improve a variety of motor and cognitive abilities. Each game focuses on a specific set of abilities, and enables the user to select difficulty levels and other settings. Therapists, teachers and parents can adjust the games to the child’s specific needs. All five games share the same identifying character – Timocco the friendly monkey. During play, children help Timocco achieve his tasks as they navigate a vivid new world. In order to play, the user slips each hand into a brightly colored sphere glove whose location is accurately tracked by the webcam. In some of the games the users hands actually control Timocco’s hands, creating a virtual world immersion experience, and in other games the user operates the tools Timocco uses for his activities, such as brushes to paint with or pins with which to pop balloons. Each game focuses on a different motor or cognitive skill, such as posture, bilateral coordination, cross-midline maturation, eye-hand coordination or visual discrimination. In addition, each activity can be adapted to the user's developmental stage, their specific needs and their pace of progress. Features like task duration, speed, number of stimuli, appearance of distractions and other parameters are easily adaptable, and the program is designed to keep a full record of the user’s performance, including the number of errors, of hits and the path of their hand’s motion.

In order to play, the user slips each hand into a brightly colored sphere glove whose location is accurately tracked by the webcam. In some of the games the users hands actually control Timocco’s hands, creating a virtual world immersion experience, and in other games the user operates the tools Timocco uses for his activities, such as brushes to paint with or pins with which to pop balloons. Each game focuses on a different motor or cognitive skill, such as posture, bilateral coordination, cross-midline maturation, eye-hand coordination or visual discrimination. In addition, each activity can be adapted to the user's developmental stage, their specific needs and their pace of progress. Features like task duration, speed, number of stimuli, appearance of distractions and other parameters are easily adaptable, and the program is designed to keep a full record of the user’s performance, including the number of errors, of hits and the path of their hand’s motion.

Name Letterreflex (Version 1.1.1)
Description LetterReflex (version 1.1.1) is an engaging app that helps children with dyslexia overcome common letter reversals and backwards writing in early childhood development. It does so through two activities: The first activity, Tilt It, uses kinesthetic learning to teach left from right. According to research, a key reason for letter reversals is not knowing left from right, and as a result, children get confused when trying to discriminate between a “b” and a “d” or a “p” and a “q”. They are not quite sure which side the letter loop should go on. With Tilt It, children will learn the correct position of letter loops by being challenged to tilt the device in the correct direction to form letters. The second activity, Flip It, allows children to practice what they learned while honing their letter discrimination skills. Using arcade game action, Flip It challenges kids to visually discriminate and manipulate letters and words to match the correct orientation. The activity will help hone their visual discrimination skills and further cement their knowledge of correct letter and word formation. The app includes an automatic tracking and reporting feature, making it easier for parents, teachers and therapists to identify time spent on task, accuracy, and progress. These reports can be e-mailed right from the app. LANGUAGE: English SIZE: 11.0 MB COMPATIBILITY: Requires iOS 3.2 or later. Compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Name Behavior Breakthroughs
Description Behavior Breakthroughs is a mobile application designed for use by parents and caregivers of children and adults with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other related disorders. The simulation was created using game-based technology to provide an interactive environment in which parents and caregivers learn to effectively implement behavioral strategies and techniques. The simulation displays realistic 3D images of a virtual child engaging in challenging behaviors. The user is required to choose an intervention based on principles such as positive reinforcement and extinction. The child’s behavior will become more or less agitated depending on the user’s timing and choice. The goal is to provide parents and caregivers with an opportunity to learn and practice reinforcing skills they want to see increase and to use extinction to reduce rates of behaviors they would like to see decrease. To progress, the user will have to master different skills at each level. Additional behavioral concepts include: shaping, chaining, correction, functional analysis, and the teaching strategies of discrete trial, prompt fading, and errorless teaching.

Description The H-68 Scan-5 is a computer switch control interface designed to enable individuals with severe physical, motor control, neurological or upper extremity disabilities or spinal cord injury to control a TV, Apple iPod, voice recorder, MP3 player, DVD player or switch-adapted toy/device with a switch. This stand-alone device can be used by a person that can operate one or two switches. The user plugs a switch-adapted remote control or device that he or she wishes to control into the Scan-5's 9-pin port. The Scan-5 scans both visually and audibly (the user records his or her voice for each function) through five functions. There are two types of "scanning" - Auto and Step. In the Auto mode, the user activates the switch to start the scan. The first button lights up and speaks and waits for a set period of time for the user to activate the switch. If the user does not activate the switch, the next button lights up and is announced. This process continues through the last button. The scan stops if no selection is made, and the user can activate the switch to start again. A Step Scan requires two switches. The second switch "steps" through the choices so each time that the user presses the switch, the Scan-5 lights up and speaks the next button. The original switch functions as the selected switch so when the desired button is lit up, the user activates this switch and the Scan-5 "presses" that button to perform the desired function. POWER: The Scan-5 uses a rechargeable battery that can be recharged from a computer via the included cable or with the included charger.

Name Match Cooking Prep System
Description -- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a matching cook preparation system for adults with autism. The Match Cooking Prep System is designed to provide practical tools that assist someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to learn how to cook. The Match Cooking Prep System is based on Syracuse University graduate Amanda Savitzky's personal experience as a sibling of an individual with ASD. The system consists of measuring cups, prep bowls, and an iPad app. The project focuses on food preparation and creates a structure in the place of the constant redirection between cupboards and the refridgerator in gathering ingredients for individuals with ASD. The Match bowls are numbered and filled according to a recipe prompting the user to follow a recipe's sequenced instructions. The measuring utensils devised to fill the bowls are distinguished by color and shape and they have larger sized handles that provide a more secure palmar grip. Consulting with Natalie Russo, Professor of Psychology at Syracuse University, Savitzky drew upon the principles of the Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) for the linear left to right layout of the Match Prep Cooking System. The TEACCH workstations employ a standardized physical layout that creates structure and routine, two powerful ways to encourage learning for people with autism. Ultimately, the Match system aims to support the learner with ASD and their teacher to achieve as much independence as possible. A central component of the Match system will be an iPad app that takes complex cooking preparation tasks and breaks them down into small steps. The app will enable users to divide recipes into the following tasks: gather, measure, combine, and prep. This task breakdown will be turned into a visual slide show that can be customized with familiar images from individual kitchens. The design of the app will take recipe measurements such as "1 cup" and display them as the corresponding Match system measuring cup symbol. AUTHOR: Donna Taylor.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a dexterity enhancement apparatus for an iPad tablet computer to be used by a child with cerebral palsy (CP). A 5-year-old kindergarten student with CP struggled with the fine motor movement required to use her iPad for communication. The iPad Dexterity Enhancement Apparatus, iDEA, is a supportive, spring loaded tracking system that keeps a user's hand in the optimal operating position while supporting the wrist to prevent hand dragging. This allows the user to utilize a natural tapping motion on the iPad's screen but with enhanced control and guided dexterity. iDEA is comprised of a platform with four springs that is mounted onto a carriage running inside a long rail. The springs allow the users to push the wrist downward, and thereby closer to the work surface, with slight resistance while allowing the user to make natural tapping motions in a more controlled manner. The springs also allow the entire platform to bend in every direction, improving comfort. Once assembled, iDEA can be affixed to any surface using Inventables Suction Cup Tape. The cost for the iDEA, including the framing system, is approximately $170; however, the device alone costs $30. AUTHORS: Ed Gillman, Amy Clancy, Ann Maria Gelle, and Teresa Nguyen.

Name Lifestyle Hd (Model Hd730)
Description The LifeStyle HD, model HD730, is a high-definition desktop video magnifier (CCTV) designed to provide high resolution magnification of printed materials, photographs, and objects for individuals with low vision. This unit has more than 150 magnification levels from 3.1x (22-inch monitor) or 3.4x (24-inch monitor) to 95x. The magnification increases in 0.1x increments from 3.1x to 10x (for example: 3.1x, 3.2x, 3.3x etc.), and in 1x increments from 11x to 95x. The user can control the level of magnification and how wide of a view is displayed on the screen. For many users, the high resolution makes text readable at a lower magnification, due to its sharper image, allowing them to view a wider field of text with more letters or words displayed across the line, requiring less movement of the X/Y reading table. For photos, the lower magnification level allows a wider field of view, so the natural color image shows more definition and detail. The high definition monitor can move vertically, tilt forward and back and swivel left and right to optimize the viewing angle. "Power," "Zoom", and "Mode" buttons are located on the front panel under the screen. The two large, ergonomic "Zoom" buttons control magnification. Pushing the upper button increases the magnification, and to lower button decreases the magnification. The "Mode" buttons (left and right arrow button) select or change the image mode. Image modes color, enhanced reverse image (white letters on a black background), enhanced black and white, and normal black and white. In addition, the user can select four custom display modes by choosing from a palette of 28 text and background combinations, such as yellow text on black. The user can set horizontal or vertical Line Markers to help guide reading across a row of text or separate columns of a table or spreadsheet, or create a horizontal or vertical window view by adjusting the Window mode button. The user can also plug in a DVI-D cable to connect the unit to a personal computer and then toggle back and forth to switch between a full screen view of the video magnifier image or the full screen view of the computer display. Users have the option to select between Picture Mode, in which all text, photos, pictures, graphs, and similar images are displayed in geometric proportion, or Text Mode, in which the text and spacing between letters are slightly expanded making it visually more comfortable for some users. POWER: Uses a household outlet 100/240 volt 50/60 hertz. DIMENSIONS: 20.8 x 21.6 x 20.1 inches; 22- or 24-inch LCD monitor. WEIGHT: 40 pounds. WARRANTY/GUARANTEE: 2 year manufacturer warranty.

Name Myo
Description The MYO is a myoelectric remote control interface for computers designed to provide individuals with fine motor or other disabilities with the ability to control a computer, tablet or smartphone remotely by making hand or arm gestures. The Myo fits around the user's forearm like a bracelet or sweatband. It has sensors that detect muscle activity via myoelectric activity and a 9-axis inertial measurement unit that acts as a motion sensor. Theses sensors allow it to detect changes down to each individual finger. When tracking the position of the arm and hand, the MYO can detect subtle movements and rotations in all directions. The MYO uses Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy to communicate with any device with which it is paired. The MYO uses a unique "on/off" gesture (that is unlikely to occur normally) to enable and disable control, and it alerts the user via haptic feedback when it is enabled and detecting movement. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM or compatible PCs or Apple Macintosh computers and other Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows or Mac OS for computers; Apple iOS or Android for smartphones and other mobile devices. POWER: Uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. COLOR: Black or white.

Name Kinect Email Interface
Description -- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype email interface based on the Kinect system technology for individuals with aphasia or other communication disorders. For many sufferers of aphasia, a disorder caused by stroke that impairs the language centers of the brain, writing or typing emails may become difficult. When Chad Rubles's mother had a stroke that resulted in aphasia, he developed an email interface system based on the Microsoft Kinect's approach, using simple hand gestures to select items on the computer's screen. The user interface consists of a virtual dashboard, featuring nine emoticons, a series of level or intensity buttons, and a green arrow and a red "X." The user selects one of the emoticons that reflect his or her current emotional state and uses the intensity buttons to indicate the level at which he or she feels that emotion, before generating and sending the email with the arrow. The red button allows the user to refresh the dashboard. This prototype can make a huge difference in communicating with friends, family, and loved ones for individuals with aphasia or other communication disorders. Rubles intends to develop the system to create more buttons and "pages" to expand the digital vocabulary, such as buttons for what a person is thinking about, or the ability to take a snapshot of oneself using the Kinect camera and link that feature to an online account, without compromising the simplicity of the interface.

Name DAF Assistant
Description DAF Assistant is an auditory feedback program for stuttering therapy designed for use by individuals who stutter. This application (or app) for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad implements the Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) and Frequency-shifting Auditory Feedback (FAF) techniques by delaying the sound of the user's voice from reaching to the ears by a fraction of a second. This simulates the "chorus effect" by making it seem as if the user is speaking with several others to help the user speak more fluently. DAF Assistant provides a delay ranging from 20 to 320 milliseconds in 10 millisecond increments. DAF Assistant also implements FAF by providing pitch shift in the range from one-half octave down to one-half octave up. The program allows the user to control his or her speech fluency, slow down speech rate, increase confidence level, and develop good speaking habits. The app cannot operate during phone call and Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic (not included) are required. A Bluetooth headset can also be used with an iPhone. COMPATIBILITY: For use with an Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.1.2 or later.

The camera is connected to the computer with a cord. To hear a description of an object, such as a traffic light, the user points at the object, and the OrCam will interpret the image in the camera indicated by the user and speak a description of the object in the earpiece. Similarly, the user can point to text, and the OrCam will read the text beginning at the point indicated by the user. The OrCam can also be used to announce money denominations. The OrCam can be taught to recognize objects. The user can wave at a known object, and the OrCam will prompt the user to speak the object's name or description, which will be stored and used to describe that object in the future when the user points at it. The OrCam also can "learn" to recognize faces using the same technique. The OrCam's bone conduction earpiece does not block outside sound and provides sound clarity in a noisy environment. The device is best used in normal light or daylight, but it can function in darker environments with the aid of a flashlight.

Name Time Management Device For Children With Down Syndrome
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of a time management device for children with Down syndrome. The Ohio State University Time Team (TT), in partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO), partnered to design a time management device for children with Down syndrome. The device is intended to increase the self-sufficiency of children by enabling them to manage their time independently. It provides a tool to aid children to learn the concepts of time, relationships between the timing of multiple events, and sequential reasoning. The device mitigates the frequency of occasions that a caregiver must remind the child to stay on task. It serves two main functions: (1) providing a visual sequence of events and (2) displaying a proportional amount of time. This device presents time and events in a simple and effective way using multiple sensory stimuli that specifically address the cognitive and physical disabilities of children with Down syndrome. The time device portrays several tasks in chronological order, shows the expected duration of each task in relation to its surrounding events, and depicts elapsed and remaining time for the event series using a dynamic proportional LED light bar. The LED bar is capable of displaying up to five separate colors, indicating lengths of time for the five different tasks. The user chooses the lengths of time by way of potentiometer knobs and those lengths program into the device upon each use. The lights turn off at a constant rate as time passes, showing a decrease in the length of time left. Pictures of the event tasks lay over individual backgrounds whose colors correspond to the colors on the LED. Based on results from validation testing of preliminary concepts conducted with 21 parents of children with Down syndrome, the device employs interactive features to provide the child a sense of accomplishment. The device provides visual reinforcement for the completion of a task by closing a window over the event's picture. Closing the window also closes a circuit loop, activating a positive sound. The device is robust, portable and adaptable. It has visual appeal, is easy to use, and requires minimal set up time. The total project cost is $2529.97.

Description MagWin USB is an accessibility software module containing screen magnification and voice output screen reader programs designed for use by individuals with low vision. The unit plugs into a computer's USB port, and the software opens without needing to be installed. Since no administrator privileges are necessary to install the software, restrictions on public computers against granting installation rights are not a obstacle to using MagWin USB. In addition, the user can borrow a friend's laptop or use a family member's computer without installing undesired software. The module can be attached to a keychain and carried in a person's pocket or purse. The screen magnification program has magnification levels ranging from 1.5x up to 36x. The magnification can be increased in increments of 0.5x. The program has eight different viewing modes, from full screen to a single line zoom. Dozens of color combinations are available to decrease eye fatigue. Character outlines are smoothed as they are magnified. While the user is zoomed into a portion of the original screen, the Focus Tracking feature highlights messages, warnings, and other information the user may need to know. The cursor is auto-tracked so it is not lost off the screen. The mouse pointer's color and size can be customized, and the cursor location can be marked with a cross hair or circle. A Zoom scroll bar tells the user what part of the screen is being viewed no matter how large the magnification. As a screen reader, the program reads any text to which the user points with the mouse. It also repeats whatever is typed, either by letter, word, or line, and it reads information in message boxes, tool tips, and other pop-ups. The user can choose between two voices and adjust the volume and speed of the screen reader. Other features include hot keys and auto-start on start-up. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Windows compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 (32- or 64-bit); at least one USB port.

Name DIY iStand
Description --- DO IT YOURSELF ENTRY --------- PURPOSE: To create a do-it-yourself (DIY) iPad stand for individuals with disabilities. Begin by cutting two wood strips 5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches. In the center of each, rough in a "Home" button access groove using a band saw or jigsaw then finish with a dremel and sandpaper. While leaving the protective paper on the acrylic, cut the acrylic to size and sand its edges, and then on only one end, drill and countersink two holes. For the original iPad, cut a slot on the same end to expose its down-facing speaker (skip this step for iPad 2 or measure for the new iPad). Cut a 6-inch length of scrap 4 x 4 inches piece of wood to use as a 90-degree bending fixture for the acrylic. On the same end of the acrylic as the screw holes, pull back and remove about 4 inches of the protective paper on both sides. Next, note which side of the acrylic the countersinks are on. Wrap both ends of the acrylic with aluminum foil. On the foil, mark a dot with a felt-tip pen on the countersinks' side. Leave exposed a 5/16 inch wide bend area, as shown on the template. The foil will shield heat from everywhere except that area. To ensure an accurate, neat bend, use the straight factory edges of the foil at the gap, ensuring that they are perpendicular to the sides and parallel. Heat the bend area over a red-hot electric stove burner. When heating, hold the acrylic one to two inches above the burner and flip it over frequently to ensure that both sides are heated evenly. Keep the piece moving, and don’t allow the aluminum foil to slip. After about 30 seconds, push on the short end of the acrylic to see if it begins to yield. It should bend easily, but do not heat it so much that bubbles begin to form. When the bend area is pliable, remove from heat, then quickly (holding onto the cool foil-wrapped ends) bend the acrylic over the 4 x 4 wood — with the felt-tip dot on the outside — and let it cool. Hold it under cold running water to speed the process. Noting the position of the "Home" button access groove, place one wood strip flush with the short end of the acrylic and over the two screw holes. Trace the holes onto the wood then drill almost through with a 0.125-inch drill bit. Attach with two screws. The screws could raise a bulge in the wood if the countersinks are too deep. If so, either drill all the way through the wood strips and sand the ends of the screws flush, or sand a little off the ends before attaching the wood pieces to the acrylic. Do not use shorter screws. To ensure the that the stand will accommodate the different iPad versions, set the stand on its short leg, and put the iPad in its portrait position with its bottom edge trapped by the wood strip. Hold the other wood strip on top of the iPad, noting the relative position of the groove, and mark where it will be mounted then attach the wood strip to the acrylic as you did the first one and trim the excess acrylic flush. Now gently round the four corners of the iStand; a bench disk sander works well. The iStand is now usable. A wooden support block can be added to use the iPad in landscape and charging positions. To create the wooden support block, cut (preferably with a band saw) a 0.75-inch wood stock to 5 x 2 inches, and then cut an approximately 20-degree angle along one edge. Place the iPad in the stand in a portrait position, either slid in from the side or snapped behind the top wood strip. The acrylic will yield somewhat. Next, slide the support block into position with the angled surface against the back of the iPad and the other side against the back of the stand. The goal is to center the support just above the center of the Apple logo. Trim it to fit. Next, attach a 0.75 inch by 5-inch piece of thin pressure-sensitive adhesive foam to the angled surface. Reposition the support block, and where its top edge meets the acrylic, mark a straight line on the acrylic, perpendicular to the edges. Remove the block. At 3/8 inch below that line, mark, drill, and countersink two mounting holes in the acrylic. Once again, slide the support into position tracing the acrylic’s mounting holes onto it, and drill two 0.125-inch holes, about 0.5-inch deep. Remove the wood strips and the acrylic’s protective paper. Finish the three wood parts with oil, wax, or polyurethane varnish and reassemble the stand. The iPad is now usable in landscape orientation, at either a steep or shallow angle. This adaptation could be made for other types of tablet devices accounting for the placement of the various input/output ports. MATERIALS: Acrylic sheet clear or smoked, 5 x 13.625 x 0.025 inches, 2 wood strips 5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches, one wood block 5 x 2 x 0.75 inches, self-adhesive foam sheet 5 x 0.75 x 0.083 inches or 1/16 inch, six flat-head wood screws #8 x 0.75 inch, and aluminum foil. TOOLS: A 1/8 inch drill bit, countersink bit, disk sander, drill, electric stove, felt pen, high-speed rotary tool, sandpaper, dremel, band or jig saw, and wood scrap.

For example, when the child touches the picture of a swing, a recorded voice (usually of a parent or sibling) says a word or sentence such as "I want to play." Verbal Victor comes pre-loaded with buttons for seven different actions. A teacher, parent or therapist can personalize the content of the app to the user’s needs using the iPad’s built-in camera or picture library and microphone to create new buttons and sounds. Recordings can be made in any language. The app also allows the creation of categories and simplifies navigation between them. The user can set the screen to show two, four, or six buttons at a time and swipe left to right to access more screens. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 4.3 or later.

Name Phonopix - Full
Description PhonoPix – Full is a speech remediation program, a speech training program and a language tutorial program designed for use by speech-language therapists and parents working with children who have communication or speech disabilities. The program allows children to use an Apple iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to practice sounds in words and sentences with a therapist, parent, or independently. PhonoPix features flashcard and matching activities with minimal pairs to contrast children’s incorrect responses with the target responses. Example minimal pairs include “tea” and “key,” “ton” and “sun,” and “bee” and “beach.” The program includes 10 decks with 40 minimal pairs in each (400 total pairs) for these phonological processes: prevocalic voicing, word final voicing, final consonant deletion, fronting (palatal and velar), marked blend reduction, unmarked blend reduction, gliding(“l” and “r” sounds), stopping, backing (palatal and velar), and initial consonant deletion. Users can combine card decks and specify ordering; choose sound groups to practice; copy scores to clipboard, email and Google Spreadsheet; and configure options for app sounds (audio recordings) and visuals (hide matched cards, unmatched card delay). Other features include color coded cards, auto-play of audio recordings, tap-to-play audio, audio feedback for scoring, and sound group title added to the top of flashcards and matching cards to clarify scoring. In the flashcard activity, children can view minimal pairs in double-sided flashcards by flicking through an album and tapping an around button. Children will have fun matching minimal pairs in three different levels: easy with 3 pairs, medium with 6 pairs, and hard with 10 pairs in the matching activity. Children practice by listening to the recorded audio, recording their voice to self-monitor, and collecting scores during these activities. Scores are saved in the app for up to four children at a time. COMPATIBILITY: For use with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Apple iOS 3.2 or later.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of a keyboard alternative for individuals who have the use of only one hand or have fine motor disabilities in one hand. Gauntlet, or the Generally Accessible Universal Nomadic Tactile Low-power Electronic Typist, is a smart glove device that features built-in wireless keyboard functionality. This device looks like a black glove with letters placed in between joints of each finger. The user types by using the thumb to touch the desired letter. When designing Gauntlet, University of Alabama researchers, led by Jiake Liu, worked out the most commonly used letters in the English alphabet and placed those letters where the easiest and most natural hand movements could reach them. Lesser used letters and functions were given more complicated gestures. As the user "types," signals are carried by conductive thread to a small printed circuit board (PCB) and transmitted via Bluetooth to a computer, tablet, cellphone, or any other compatible device.

Name Brain Interface Glasses Eye Tracking System
Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of a brain controlled interface pair of glasses that can be used by individuals with severe mobility disabilities and neurological disorders to control a computer. The glasses were created from off-the-shelf materials by PhD student William Abbott and Dr. Aldo Faisal, a lecturer in neurotechnology at Imperial College in the United Kingdom. The system has two basic components: (1) an eye tracking system that an individual wears on his or her head that consists of two sets of very fast cameras that record the movements of the eyes and enable researchers to work out where on the screen and individual is looking; and (2) software that decodes the intentions of an individual interacting with the computer and translates them into commands enabling the individual to control the computer just by using his or her eyes. In other words, the eyewear allows the wearer to operate the computer using only one's eyes and move the cursor around as though there were a conventional mouse in place. The computer is calibrated to ignore involuntary blinking but all other controls are voluntarily implemented by the user. The system requires just one watt of power and is able to transmit data wirelessly. AUTHOR: Edwin Kee. TITLE: $65 brain interface glasses use eyes to control computers. WEBSITE: übergizmo.

Description ---- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype of an accessible touchscreen for tablet devices for individuals with fine motor and/or hand disabilities. Touchscreen computer tablets vary but one unique feature between them all is the finger gestures necessary to perform tasks on the device. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology created a simple tool, Access4Kids, that augments touchscreens and helps many people with fine motor control issues in their hands operate tablets. The device, which is wrapped around the forearm, has large pressure sensitive pads on its surface that translate sequential taps into gestures like pinches and swipes. The current prototype device was developed for children, though it could be used by adults as well. AUTHOR: Gene Ostrovsky. TITLE: Access4Kids Device Helps Disabled Use Touchscreen Tablets (video).

Description The Mini-Keyboard with Keyguard, model MKK-100, is a wireless mini keyboard designed for use by individuals who type with a single finger or a pointer. This keyboard connects to a computer using a wireless Bluetooth connection. The small size of the moisture-resistant keyboard reduces the distance the user has to reach to access all the keys.

The combination of the smaller keyboard with a keyguard reduces the number of mistakes due to hitting two keys at the same time. OPTIONS: Adjustable angle stand; Bluetooth dongle for computers that do not support Bluetooth and have a USB port. POWER: Uses rechargeable battery that charges using a standard USB port. COMPATIBILITY: The keyboard works with any device that accepts a Bluetooth keyboard, including many Windows and Apple Macintosh computers, as well as iPads, Android or Windows 8 tablets, iPhones, and smartphones. DIMENSIONS (HxW): 5.75 x 9 inches.

The Microcomputer Evaluation of Careers and Academics (MECA) System is a series of skills assessment and training systems, job readiness tutorial programs and transition, career and vocational assessment and planning programs. It includes simulations of tasks related to training, education and employment. The curriculum management system starts with a screening of interests (the Interest Indicator) and assigns activities for the user based on the scored results. The system then delivers assigned hands-on activities (the Work Samples) and job-specific, academic/basic skills assessments (Learning Assessment Programs). The MECA System also includes career planning and a career portfolio for post-secondary goal setting. The system assesses the user's self-determination skills related to setting and achieving academic and career goals (Personal Responsibility); assesses and teaches social/emotional skills in learning, leadership, change, teamwork, sensitivity, and violence prevention (Success Profiler); and teaches functional life, social, literacy and works skills (Functional Skills System). Finally, the MECA System scores, interprets, assigns skill-enhancement activities based on assessment results, and delivers skill-enhancement activities. The system can create a prescription for learning for transition Individual Education Programs (IEPs) that correlates to standards in each state. The user’s data are tracked, scored, benchmarked, stored and printed in the system. The system includes an audio option for low and non-readers and is available in English and Spanish.

Name Up Mouse
Description -- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To create a prototype alternative to the traditional computer mouse for individuals who have repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other neuromuscular disabilities in the hand. The designer and creator Daniel Benamy has repetitive strain injury that was brought on by using a traditional mouse over an extended period of time. Benamy created the Up Mouse as a prototype alternative to the traditional push down computer mouse. This wired mouse is shaped like a standard mouse and has a "U" shaped piece that attaches to the sides of the mouse near the front like a handle. When the user places a hand on the mouse, the extra piece extend over the fingers. The buttons on the Up Mouse are activated when the user lifts the fingers and moves the "U" piece upward. This creates a different motion and can relieve the pain cause by repetitive strain injury. The Up Mouse does not have a scroll wheel. Benamy had originally planned to add one but could not implement it into the design. The Up Mouse is compatible for left-handed and right-handed mouse users. AUTHOR: Dave LeClair. TITLE: Up Mouse turns push into pull to address hand and wrist pain. WEBSITE: Gizmag. REF: http://www.gizmag.com/up-mouse-wrist-pain-rsi/23529.

Name Language-Links
Description Language-Links is a communicator and language tutorial program designed for use by individuals with communication or speech disabilities and severe neurological or physical disabilities. This program is a progressive language development system with ready-to-use pages designed by speech language pathologists who specialize in using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices in clinical settings. Covering all levels of language development from preschool through adult, Language-Links includes pragmatic based pages (Language-Links Core) as well as grammatically and semantically based (Language-Links Prime) pages. Throughout each of the progressive page set structures, there is a strong emphasis placed on content continuum from one level to the next. This approach is beneficial to AAC users because they only have to learn new content as they progress to the next level, as they are already proficient at the repetitive content from the previous level. All levels of Language-Links follow the Fitzgerald Key of color coding for AAC materials. Color coding helps individuals find words by the category they are in and helps make the AAC display easier to navigate by differentiating word categories. Language-Links Core is a progressive set of pragmatically focused communication page sets ranging from preschool communication needs through adult (6 location cell densities to 48 location cell density). Language-Links Core is based on an AAC user’s pragmatic skills and ability to communicate based on the context of the situation or desired wants and needs. This provides many opportunities for use of quick talk messages to be used for fluent communication. Language-Links Core provides many areas of communicative intent such as positive and negative comments, wants and needs, questions, and much more. Along with the pragmatic based communication content, the user also has access to additional content as the level of page sets progresses. This allows the user to not only use the pragmatically based quick content but unique sentence production as well. This provides a whole language approach to communication while promoting communicative independence in any situation. Language-Links Prime is a progressive set of grammatically focused communication page sets ranging from beginning language development through advanced language development (6 location cell density to 30+ location cell density). Language-Links Prime is based on sentence structure and development from subject-verb, noun-verb, and subject-verb-noun combinations to complete sentence production including adverbs, adjectives, verb conjugation, and much more. The progressive nature of the Language-Links Prime communication system makes it appropriate for people of all ages from preschool through adults.

Name Soundbeam (Kit A & Kit B)
Description Soundbeam is a music synthesizer control system designed to allow people with physical or developmental disabilities to create music on any instrument operating with MIDI without physical contact by interrupting a stream of ultrasonic pulses. The Soundbeam master or remote sensor sends out an invisible stream of ultrasonic pulses; when the beam is interrupted, echoes bounce back to the master. Soundbeam detects the interruption, measures the length of time required for the pulse to meet the interruption, measures the length of time required for the echo to bounce back, interprets that information in terms of notes and pitches, and sends instructions for playing the notes to the musical instrument. The length of the beam can be adjusted, allowing both minute movements and sweeping gestures to be used. One set of movements in the beam of the Soundbeam Master creates one channel of information to be sent to one instrument. Up to three soundbeam units can be attached to the Soundbeam Master. Each unit can then interpret movement, creating up to four channels of information and allowing music to be created simultaneously on four electronic instruments or on one instrument capable of playing separate but simultaneous note or sound sequences. Ten selectable MIDI programs in three categories are supplied with the Soundbeam. Single Shot modes provide one note per break in the beam. Sustain modes allow chords to be built with successive beam breaks. Re-trigger modes allows movement within the broken beam to trigger adjacent notes. One re-trigger mode allows scales to be programmed via MIDI input, enabling the user to break the beam at various intervals to play pitches melodically without a keyboard controller. Soundbeam Kit A includes one transformer, one remote sensor, one boom stand, all necessary leads, a handbook, and a video. Kit B includes two each of the transformer, remote sensor, and boom stand, as well as all leads, one handbook, and one video. OPTIONS: Single Switch, Switcher 8, Soundbed, Soundbox, amplifier, MIDIMap software, additional manuals and videos, and a directory of Soundbeam users.

Name King Keyboard (Model 2440)
Description King Keyboard is an expanded keyboard designed with large widely spaced keys for individuals with gross motor skills and a large range of motion. The keys are slightly recessed so that the board's surface acts as a keyguard and the keys provide tactile and auditory feedback on contact. Frequency of use layout places the most frequently used letters toward the center of the keyboard, which may help expedite text entry and minimize fatique. Operating the keys requires 200 gm of pressure. When used with the Adaptive Firmware Card (see entry) on Apple computers or the PC Serial Aid or DADAEntry (see entries) on IBM computers, all keys can be redefined so that they enter desired words, characters, or phrases: up to 128 messages can be stored and retrieved. Key response time can also be varied, and SHIFT and CONTROL keys are latched. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple IIe, Apple IIGS, IBM PS/2 and IBM PC computers. DIMENSIONS: 23.5 x 12 x 1 inches. Keys measure 1.25 inches in diameter. WEIGHT: 5 pounds.

Name Mouse Emulator (Model 5005)
Description Mouse Emulator is a device that allows a set of switches to be used in place of a mouse for input to a Macintosh computer. Five input switches are used to produce up, down, left and right cursor movement plus mouse button action. A latching feature is provided to reproduce mouse movement with the mouse button held down ("dragging"). This latching is activated by holding down the mouse button switch for a certain (adjustable) length of time. The speed of cursor movement with the Mouse Emulator goes in two stages. The initial speed when a switch is activated is fixed and slow. After a one second delay the speed increases to a higher value, the magnitude of which is adjustable. The Mouse Emulator will also serve in place of the standard keyboard. Special software presents an on-screen image of the keyboard. The user moves the mouse cursor to the desired key and clicks the mouse button in order to "type" that key. Mouse Emulator is designed to substitute transparently for the mouse and the keyboard, providing access to standard software on the Macintosh 512 and Plus computers. An adapter is needed for use on the Macintosh SE or Mac II computers. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh computers. DIMENSIONS: 6 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches. WEIGHT: 7.8 ounces.

Name Laryngograph (Model 6094)
Description The Laryngograph, model 6094, is a device that detects and processes laryngeal characteristics of a person's voice for use in the treatment of vocal fold pathologies. The laryngograph can in turn be interfaced with a microcomputer to display and print these voice patterns. The user places two transducers (vibration detectors) against the larynx and speaks. The transducers are designed specifically to pick up and record movement of the chords and the opening and closing of the vocal folds, independent of extraneous acoustic noise and the qualities of the resonance tract. The system detects the complete pattern of vocal fold closure in each vibrating cycle, including closure duration and completeness, closure velocity, and coordination (sharpness) of the closure event. The trace of these events (the LX waveform) is generated, and can be transmitted to the computer or to an oscilloscope for display. In order for the waveforms to be displayed on the computer screen, an interface unit and appropriate software are required. The Laryngograph works with the Visi-Pitch system (also from Kay Elemetrics; see separate entries). The systems comes ready-to-use with one pair of transducers, three elastic neckbands, and internal large capacity NiCad battery and a separate battery charger. POWER: Rechargeable batteries. DIMENSIONS: 9.4 x 9.8 x 3.5 inches. WEIGHT: 3 pounds.

Description Speaqualizer is a hardware-based system that provides voice output of information appearing on the computer screen of IBM PC or PS/2 Model 30/286 computers. The Speaqualizer is "transparent," providing voice output for any software that sends character data to the screen and uses the operating system cursor. The Speaqualizer system consists of three parts: an internal circuit card for the computer, a control box, and a connecting cable. A keyboard on the control box is used to control what section of the screen will be read back and how it will be read. The user can adjust the speed and volume of the synthesized speech at any time, even while the Speaqualizer is talking. The user can also silence the speech at any time. The user can opt to hear each character read back as it is typed on the computer's keyboard. Upper case letters are signalled by a higher pitch of the voice. The Speaqualizer can review text displayed in columns. Because it is hardware-based, the Speaqualizer does not consume any of the computer's memory while in operation. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM PS/2 Models 25/30 and IBM PC computers. POWER: 120-volt AC. DIMENSIONS: 7 x 7 x 3 inches.

Name Nes Hands Free Controller
Description The NES Hands Free Controller (HFC) is a cursor control interface device designed to allow input into the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) for all NES games except those requiring the Zapper Light Gun or the PowerPad. The HFC is worn on the chest. A chin- activated joystick on a moveable arm is used to activate figures in the game. Button functions are simulated by use of a sip and puff switch. By sipping or puffing lightly, the A and B buttons are activated; harder sipping or puffing activates the Select and Start buttons. Users can specify the pressure necessary to activate Select and Start, and can reverse the activation of A and B from sip to puff and back again. The HFC can be used in competitive games where the other player is using other joysticks or controllers or another HFC. The HFC comes with three different joystick lengths. OPTIONS: Two packages are available: the HFC alone ($175), or with the NES Control Deck (including standard controllers) and Super Mario Brothers 2 ($275). DIMENSIONS: Joystick lengths are 2, 3.5, and 5 inches. WEIGHT: 2.5 pounds.

Name Auditory Breakout Box
Description The Auditory Breakout Box is a computer accessory designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. The box consists of two functionally separate parts. The first part works as a standard "breakout box" which allows users to create individual wiring schemes for the serial RS-232C computer interface. The jacks are arranged in the same physical shape as the commonly used 25-pin plugs and sockets, so that no numbering system need be devised for users with blindness. The other part consists of two audible logic probes which substitute for the red and green lights that indicate the status of various lines. For example, this feature can be used to monitor whether or not information is being sent from a computer to a printer. An audio tape that includes samples of the sounds the device makes is included.

Name Dynamic Acoustics
Description Dynamic Acoustics is a clinician training program designed to explain the fundamental concepts of sound and sound transmission through animated graphic displays. The text and program are divided into four chapters. Chapter One covers elements of molecular movement, simple harmonic motion, and the derivation of the sine wave. Chapter Two explores the nature of the waveform through a set of experiments that generate graphs of two waves. Chapter Three compares and contrasts different representations of sound by allowing the selection of three frequencies and amplitudes which are simultaneously displayed as waveform, spectrum, and spectrogram. Chapter Four illustrates the effects of standing waves both as particle movement and waveform motion in three kinds of tubes for each of the first three resonance frequencies. The first copy of Dynamic Acoustics is $99.50; additional copies are $19.50. A demo disk is available free on request. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM PC computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: CGA, EGA, MCGA, or VGA video capability is required.

Description The Digital Audio Unit, model CD-10, is a voice output module designed to offer pre-recorded voice, sound effects or music to products and processes for persons with low vision. This self-contained unit consists of a microprocessor that can be implemented to provide recordings serving safety; instruction; security; or information purposes. It is designed to interface with electrical signals (i.e. analog or digital - household appliances/electrical devices) triggered by various types of sensors (i.e. pressure, infrared, heat) or by serial port data. The audio recordings, in the form of digitally coded data, are stored on electronically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) and converted to an analog signal that is amplified (1.25 watts) through a standard 8 ohm speaker (volume adjustable). This product is also engineered to play multiple messages of varying lengths with a total playback capacity of four minutes on 8 megabits of EPROM memory. It is also possible to allow multiple sounds to be digitally mixed together into a single audio output; for instance, words may be spoken over music. Overall, this audio unit is constructed in a solid state condition with no moving parts and is designed for maintenance-free use. COMPATIBILITY: The unit can be applied to security systems, safety awareness systems, or transportation broadcast systems among others. OPTIONS: The audio data can be edited to suit user requirements; production assistance is available for many languages. The unit can either be encased or be left as an open board, depending on the application. POWER: 12-volts direct current (VDC). DIMENSIONS: (Length x Width) - 3.6 x 3.95 inches. WEIGHT: 3 ounces. WARRANTY: 1-year guarantee from the date of ownership. If the unit fails to operate as specified and has not been tampered with or abused, simply return it for repair or replacement.

Keys can be created in any shape or location with letters, phrases, pictures, mouse movements, mouse clicks, or special IntelliTool settings. Once the overlay is completed, it is printed using any color or black-and-white printer with legal-sized paper and attached to the keyboard. The overlay information is sent from the program through the cable to the IntelliKeys Keyboard, which reconfigures itself to match the custom overlay. Overlays can be saved for repeated use and they can be saved as templates, allowing them to be opened, edited, renames, and saved as a new overlay. The Overlay Maker includes the IntelliTools Picture Library of over 300 images, and it also accepts images from clip art programs, digitized photos, Boardmaker (see separate entry), or any drawing program. The Windows version of the software also offers an easy mode with pre-designed templates, key sizing without grid restrictions, the ability to place graphics anywhere on the printed overlay, and the capacity to make global changes to keys or text. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use with Macintosh or IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Requires the IntelliKey keyboard. The Macintosh version requires System 6.0.7 or higher, 1.5 megabytes (MB) of hard drive space, and a minimum of 2 MB RAM. The Windows version requires a 386 SX processor or better (486 recommended), a VGA monitor (SVGA recommended), and Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. Windows 3.1 requires 16 MB of hard drive space and 4 MB RAM; Windows95 requires 12 MB hard drive space and 8 MB RAM. WARRANTY: 60-day money-back guarantee on the purchase of any item, if returned in resalable condition and accompanied with a Return Merchandise Authorization number. Individual products have specific warranties.

Name Unity
Description Unity is a direct selection communicator program and a cognitive skills and vocabulary tutorial program designed for use by persons with communication or cognitive disabilities. The Minispeak application program is a vocabulary program for use with Prentke Romich communication devices (see separate entries). The vocabulary is pre-selected and pre-stored; the icons have already been chosen to represent the vocabulary and the overlay has been arranged in a logical array. Vocabulary is divided into two categories: core and extended. Core vocabulary consists of those few hundred words that constitute the vast majority of communication. Quick access to core vocabulary enables the user to participate in conversations at home, at work, or in school. Extended vocabulary consists of the thousands of remaining words that are used less frequently. Unity utilizes semantic compaction, which relies on short sequences of a small number of multi-meaning icons to form words. This communication method takes advantage of the many associations attached to these icons to expand their meaning. For example, the elephant icon is associated with "big," "strong," and "gray." These associations are used primarily to introduce and teach the vocabulary structure. With Unity, the locations of the icons on a device keyboard or display remain fixed. This enables the communicator to become "automatic" in recalling the icon sequences for core vocabulary. Versions of Unity,integrated in Prentke Romich communication devices, begin with just a few hundred words and grow to more than 4,000 words, enabling first-time communicators experience early success.

Name Road To The Bank
Description Road to the Bank is an independent living personal skills tutorial program designed to teach children ages three and up about personal responsibility and money management. This product uses a game-style format to encourage children to complete daily chores such as making the bed, vacuuming, helping in the kitchen, doing homework, and others or to perform personal care activities such as brushing teeth and bathing. Responsibilities are illustrated on pre-printed chore cards and blank cards are also included for personalization. The large illustrations are labeled with the appropriate word, making the game accessible to both readers and non-readers. The basic set includes chore cards and playing pieces in four colors, allowing up to four children to participate. Children select their color and parents or caregivers select the appropriate chore cards for each child in his or her color. The brightly colored game board, depicting the road to the bank, is designed to be mounted on the refrigerator (repositionable mounting pads are included). Two hooks (color-coded for each child) are hung below the board. The left hook holds the chore cards to be completed for that day; as they are completed, the cards are moved to the right hook next to a smiling face. For each chore completed, the child moves his or her playing piece one space along the road to the bank (the board has 60 spaces). Smiling face cards (and extra spaces) can be awarded for extra chores or special efforts. When the player reaches the end of the road at the bank, he or she receives a reward, treat or allowance. For those receiving allowances, "bank cards" are provided to keep track of "deposits" and "withdrawals" and the reason for each transaction, enabling the child to learn money management skills. Each game set includes one game board, playing pieces in four colors, pre-printed chore cards in four colors, blank cards in four colors, a set of bank cards, and complete instructions and suggestions for customizing or personalizing the game. OPTIONS: Additional chore cards and banking cards for four players ($5 per set), a set of four blank banking cards only ($2), and three separate add-on card sets to expand the game: Learn-A-Verse Bible Verses ($2.99); Learn-to-Sign Sign Language alphabet and word cards ($2.99); Learn the USA cards ($2.99); and Keep Track of Allowance cards ($2.99). COLOR: Playing pieces and cards are red, yellow, blue, and green.

Name Imagination Express Destination: Pyramids
Description Destination: Pyramids is a reading tutorial, story writing, and language tutorial program designed for use by children with physical, cognitive, or visual disabilities. Using the theme of the life along the ancient Nile, users can create print and interactive electronic books, poetry, and essays as well as movies. Complete with music, sound effects, and historically accurate indoor and outdoor Pyramid Temple and Valley Temple backgrounds, the Sphinx, Pharaoh's garden and palace, the flooded Nile, village scenes, farms along the Nile, and the dock and quarry, students create interactive adventures by choosing scenes, and animating characters to plan plots, write stories and narrate pages. The finished story can then be played back on the screen or printed out. Also available are border backgrounds and a blank background. Unique features include a fact book and tools which enable students to interact with each scene in their story, including autosizing which allows students move stickers around each background scene and have the stickers change size to retain proper perspective to the scene; and smart stickers which go where students drag them and and can be moved inside buildings, and behind or in front of other objects in a scene. The sticker tools include the sticker picker containing hundreds of stickers arranged by categories like people, props, and symbols. Students can drag and drop stickers from the sticker picker into each scene. The sticker editor allows students to change each sticker's size, rotate stickers, turn animations on or off and attach sounds to each sticker. The program can be configured to meet specific ability levels and needs and a special "configure to the young child" feature transforms the stories into a talking puppet theater. Students with low vision or other visual disabilities can select colors and sizes and types of print to meet their needs. COMPATIBILITY: Available on dual platform CD-ROMs for Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles with Windows. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For Macintosh systems: Color Macintosh (256 colors required), System 7 or higher; CD-ROM drive (double speed or faster recommended); hard disk; 8MB RAM; 13 inch or larger monitor.

Name Sound Smart
Description SoundSmart is a cognitive skills tutorial program and auditory training activity designed to improve listening skills, following directions, phonemic awareness, working memory, mental processing speed, and impulse control. It is a set of 11 entertaining, multi-level talking Bingo games organized in three modules. (1) Attention Coach - (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). In this module, spoken instructions become increasingly complex as the player progresses through a series of alphabet games. The player must remember what to do even when the instructor gives multi-step instructions, then changes her mind. (2) Math & Memory Coach - (Levels A, 1, 2, 3, and 4). In this module, working memory is improved as the player learns to do math in his or her head. When set up for a child, each of these five programs addresses the corresponding grade level of the elementary school math curriculum, grades K through 4. Adult users are presented with more challenging problems. (3) Sound Discrimination Coach - (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). In this module, challenging phonemic awareness drills train the player to listen well under all types of conditions. The player must wait to answer until the stoplight turns green. Sometimes it delays on the yellow light, then changes its mind altogether about the question. The pictures slowly revealing themselves provide additional stimulation through closure (the brain having to fill in the missing pieces). Within each module, behavioral training tracks can be used to customize the programs for individual needs. Tracks include a Speed Track to challenge alertness and improve mental processing speed; a Patience Track to improve impulse control; a Listening Track to improve auditory attention, figure-ground discrimination, and auditory focus; and a Challenge Track combining all of these tracks. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Pentium III 700 or higher PC processor; DirectX 8 or higher; 20 GB hard drive with at least 1 GB free space; 256 MB of RAM; Windows 2000 / XP / Vista operating system; DirectX compatible video card with at least 16 MB of video RAM; DVD Rom drive; mouse, trackball or touchscreen; DirectX compatible soundcard; headphones or external speakers.

Description BioMuse is a cursor control interface designed for use by individuals with severe physical or neurological disabilites or spinal cord or brain injury. This bioelectric signal controller is a rack-mountable package that enables users to control computer functions directly from muscle or eye movement or brainwave signals, bypassing standard input hardware, such as a keyboard or mouse. This device receives data from four main sources of electrical activity in the human body: muscles (EMG signals), eye movements (EOG signals), the heart (EKG signals), and brain waves (EEG signals). These signals are acquired using standard non-invasive transdermal electrodes. The BioMuse amplifies and digitizes the biosignals, and then processes the signals using Biocontrol's library of proprietary DSP algorithms. For a given application, the appropriate algorithm then outputs code to control virtually any digitally interfaced device. BioMuse software runs as a subtask of Microsoft Windows. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Available serial port running DOS 5.0 or higher. Midi applications require a sound card. DIMENSIONS (HxWxD): 3 x 17 x 14 inches.

Name Easy Access
Description Easy Access is a set of keyboard utilities built into the Apple Macintosh operating system that allow the user to modify the operation of the keyboard and mouse for individuals who have limited upper extremity mobility. The utilities are provided with the operating system at no additional cost. Sticky Keys is a feature that allows single-finger operation of the keyboard. With Sticky Keys turned on, the "modifier" keys (such as SHIFT) can be pressed before the key they modify, rather than at the same time. Pressing the modifier key once modifies the next keystroke only; pressing it twice locks it on until it is turned off by being pressed again. Multiple modifier key sequences (like SHIFT-OPTION) can be executed using Sticky Keys. MouseKeys is a feature that allows the keys on the numeric keypad to be used in place of the mouse. Since the Apple PowerBook does not have a built-in numeric keypad, this utility set also includes a Mouse Keys for the PowerBook utility, which is used to emulate the numeric keyboard on the standard PowerBook keyboard. SlowKeys is a utility that enables the computer user to have the keyboard delay a keyboard entry unless the desired key is held down for a user-determined amount of time. The set also includes a text-to-speech utility that allows the computer to read alert messages that appear on the screen; messages can be read in either English or Mexican Spanish. Easy Access is included in operating systems 4.1 and above. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers.

Name Proportional Keystroke Scanner
Description The Proportional Keystroke Scanner is an input device that plugs directly into an electric typewriter for simple communication and text editing, or can be used with a personal computer or terminal for more sophisticated tasks. Keystrokes are generated by manipulating a small display via small pressures generated using a sip and puff mouthpiece. It is operated by scanning characters at a rate that is proportional to user applied vacuum. The system consists of a display module with all the characters of the keyboard on it and a sip and puff device. The user's current position is indicated by one of the characters being lit up on the display, and is also represented in a larger format in the display area. Each of the four rows of characters can be scanned horizontally by sipping, and the scanning rate is controlled by the amount of force applied by the user's sipping. The user slows down when in the vicinity of the correct character, and stops sipping when it is reached. Characters are selected by puffing gently; they then appear on the computer screen. The user sips sharply to change rows on the display panel, or puffs and holds to repeat the previous selection. The keying process typically can be learned in a few minutes. Proportional control allows relatively high speeds to be attained with practice. The entire process is electronic, does not require switch closure, and has no moving parts. The system attaches to the computer by means of the computer's industry-standard RS-232 communications port. The price listed above includes the sip and puff device and "Abilitywrite" driver software. A telephone switch hook control module is an available option. The keyboard display can be mounted on top of a video monitor. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM PS/2 Models 25/30, IBM PS/2 Models 50/60, IBM PC or compatible computers. POWER: 120 volt AC. DIMENSIONS: Control size is 4 x 8 x 8 inches. WEIGHT: 4 pounds.

Name Braille Bookmaker
Description The Braille BookMaker is a portable desk-top Braille printer that produces Braille characters on both sides of the page for individuals who are blind. Commands are issued from a calculator-style keypad, and confirmed by tones so that the operator can change settings without having to print out prompts and responses in Braille. A brief comma sequence places the unit in single-sided mode, where it can become a terminal using the optional external keyboard, or generate samples for easier proofreading by a sighted operator. The embosser's performance can reach a daily average rate of 5 hours of actual embossing figures to generate up to a quarter million pages over a full year. The unit is housed in an attache type carrying case. PAPER: This embosser has a rear panel impact control to allow the use of different tractor feed paper stock, ranging from 20-pound computer paper to 100-pound tag. CPS: This printer has a speed of 80 characters per second (cps). BUFFER SIZE: The standard multi-copy buffer size is 30K ($7,995), but can be expanded to 512K ($8,995), which will allow a connected computer to resume editing or calculating while the printer does the embossing by itself. WARRANTY: 1-year.

This reduces the motion required by the neck and eyes to perform daily data entry and keying functions, thereby reducing stress and muscle pain and increasing efficiency. The holder adapts to fit any workstation. The height may be adjusted to align the copy with the monitor for minimum head motion. Keeping the data at the same focal distance as the monitor also reduces eye strain and fatigue. The device is mounted on a sliding track to allow easy access to computer floppy disk drives. The copy holder is made of clear acrylic plastic. DIMENSIONS: 14 inches wide.

Description UltraSilent is a telecommunication program system designed sized, scripted, and designed for installation to an organization's telephone switching system (PBX). The UltraSilent automatically interacts with text telephone (TT, TTY, or TDD) callers inthe same fashion as an interactive call processing system for the hearing caller, providing direct access to the same functionality of automated telephone systems as that enjoyed by the hearing. A text telephone caller "sees" the menu choices on the TT screen and makes selections via the touch tone telephone pad in the same way a hearing caller does in a call processing system. Similar to a voice (call processing system), UltraSilent is typically standardized, regardless of the organization. Applications such as Automated Attendant, Transaction Processing, Fax on Demand, and Interactive Voice Response, or in this case Interactive TDD Response, are tailored to the organization's specific requirements, and will "mirror" (in information content) an existing "voice" call processing system. The interactive script and prompts within the unit are formulated by a specially designed workstation. COMPATIBILITY: The UltraSilent can be integrated with all standard PBX's, Centrex, and 800 services, and interacts with the caller in "conversational Baudot", the standard and preferred method of communication by TT users.

Name Half-Qwerty One-Handed Keyboard Software
Description The Half-QWERTY One-handed Keyboard Software is a one-hand keyboard modification program designed to allow a standard keyboard to also function as a one-handed keyboard, using a technique similar to two-handed touch typing. The user types with one hand in the standard home-row position for that hand. To type characters of the other hand, the user simply holds down the space bar and performs the finger movement previously performed by the other hand. Hitting the space bar only generates a space. Users with training in two-handed touch typing should be able to acquire the technique with little or no retraining, depending on the hand used and their individual skill level. The DOS version also has a sticky key feature which allows for modified use of function keys. The program does not interfere with standard two-handed typing. A set of keyboard labels is included. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Apple Macintosh and IBM PC or compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: DOS or Windows 98.

Name Let's Go Read! An Island Adventure
Description Let's Go Read! An Island Adventure is a vocabulary tutorial program designed for use by children with learning and other cognitive disabilities and physical disabilities. This program incorporates speech recognition software to enable students to direct computer actions using their voices. They can also listen to their own voices as they read the 12 interactive books incorporated into the program. This comprehensive program for beginning readers uses both phonics and whole language concepts, offers more than 175 lessons, and introduces more than 400 vocabulary words. Over the course of the lessons, students meet a raccoon named Robby who needs to read and his friend Emily the squirrel. Together they embark on an interactive adventure in a flying machine called the Reading Rover. They travel to Letter Island where they meet its inhabitants--the letters of the alphabet who will not come out to play unless students call out their sounds. As they progress through the reading adventure, students are rewarded with a series of 12 original illustrated inteactive books, each appropriate to the level achieved. While reading the books, students apply the skills they have learned and they can record themselves reading any book. Once read, the book is displayed on the student's bookshelf and can be re-read at any time. The software offers both guided and self-learning opportunities through more than 35 activities found in the Reading Rover, in the clouds, or in one of four areas on Letter Island: the beach, the jungle, the farm, and Vowel Village. These activities assist children in learning to recognize upper- and lowercase letters, mastering individual letter sounds, and identifying letter sounds within words. While flying from place to place in the Reading Rover, students encounter Word Clouds which require them to say aloud the words they see. When the word is spoken properly, the cloud disappears with a "poof" and the flight continues. This activity offers practice in sight words and assists in mastering frequently used words. Since the Reading Rover runs on the fuel of the "power of words," users are required to visit the Word Power Station to re-fuel. To accomplish this, they are challenged to build simple words using letters and sounds learned earlier in the adventure. As the adventure progresses, they move on to sentence-building activities that strengthen comprehension and vocabulary. The program also includes a Grow Slide that shows a complete list of all topics covered and the letters in the order in which they are taught. As students successfully answer activity questions, the Grow Slide automatically advances to new letters and more challenging questions. Teachers and parents can also manually change the position of the Grow Slide to change a child's location in the adventure and monitor individual progress. Also included in the software is a "Dear Parents" CD-ROM movie addressing the educational underpinnings of the program and discussing the role of parents and teachers in helping children to become successful readers. The School version also includes a Teacher's Guide and toll-free technical support. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 3.1 or Windows95 or later, 486 or Pentium or better processor, 3 megabytes (MB) free hard disk space, 8 MB RAM (16 MB recommended), Super VGA monitor with 256 colors or more, double speed or faster CD-ROM drive and a Windows- compatible sound card. Speech recognition requires Windows95 or later, a Pentium or better processor with 23 MB hard disk space, 16 MB RAM, and a 16-bit sound card with high quality microphone input. A Touch screen is optional. WARRANTY: The School version offers a lifetime disk warranty.

Name Where Does My Money Go? Software
Description Where Does My Money Go? Software is a money management training system in a game format designed for use with individuals with learning and other cognitive disabilities. This game uses realistic currency to teach basic money handling skills and requires players to conduct money transactions at the grocery store, restaurant, mall, and shopping mart. It focuses on ways to earn money, pay bills, and deal with unexpected expenses. Draw cards inform players of how much money they will receive or what they will pay for an item. This software provides voice prompts and graphics to cue one to four players. The software provides options such as Instructions, Timer which can be set to determine the length of the game, Check Score, and Quit Game. The actual game screen offers choices as Roll Die (an animated die rolls), Bank (allows players to withdraw from savings), Wallet (holds the players' money and enables them to pay or get funds), and Score (dispays current score). To play, a player clicks on the roll button and the die rolls and the player's pawn moves the appropriate number of spaces to land on a category. The player then clicks to draw a card from that category and follows the instructions illustrated either to spend money (i.e., paying for a game of bowling) or to receive money (i.e., receiving $10 as a gift). The player clicks on the "Wallet" button and the button blinks to cue the player. The amount to pay or get is shown on the screen and the player clicks on realistic-looking coins and bills until the correct amount is reached. Players are given five tries per turn to reach the correct amount. COMPATIBILITY: Available for use on IBM and compatible computers or for use on Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For IBM and compatible computers: 386 DX or higher, 8 megabytes (MB) RAM, a Soundblaster or compatible sound card, 16 MB free hard drive space, and a 640 x 480 256-color Super VGA (SVGA) monitor.

The software provides options such as Instructions, Timer which can be set to determine the length of the game, Check Score, and Quit Game. The actual game screen offers choices as Roll Die (an animated die rolls), Bank (allows players to withdraw from savings), Wallet (holds the players' money and enables them to pay or get funds), and Score (dispays current score). To play, a player clicks on the roll button and the die rolls and the player's pawn moves the appropriate number of spaces to land on a category. The player then clicks to draw a card from that category and follows the instructions illustrated either to spend money (i.e., paying for a game of bowling) or to receive money (i.e., receiving $10 as a gift). The player clicks on the "Wallet" button and the button blinks to cue the player. The amount to pay or get is shown on the screen and the player clicks on realistic-looking coins and bills until the correct amount is reached. Players are given five tries per turn to reach the correct amount. COMPATIBILITY: Available for use on IBM and compatible computers or for use on Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For IBM and compatible computers: 386 DX or higher, 8 megabytes (MB) RAM, a Soundblaster or compatible sound card, 16 MB free hard drive space, and a 640 x 480 256-color Super VGA (SVGA) monitor. For Macintosh computers: MacIIci or higher, System 7 or higher, 8 MB RAM, 16 MB free hard drive space, and a 640 x 480 256-color monitor.

Name Kurzweil 3000 For Windows
Description Kurzweil 3000 for Windows is an optical character recognition (OCR) and test program with voice output designed for use by individuals with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. This OCR software scans documents and reads scanned or electronic text aloud using synthetic speech. Documents are shown on screen with words highlighted as they are spoken. This combined auditory and visual presentation of information helps increase reading accuracy, speed, and comprehension for struggling readers. This software can read documents in portable document file (.pdf), hypertext markup language (HTML), and DAISY digital talking book formats. It presents the original image, with color graphics, photographs, and columns intact, while reading the text aloud. Documents can also be opened, edited, and saved in Microsoft Word format. The program offers a suite of learning tools, including syllabification, pronounciation, text preview, thesaurus, phonetic spelling, and a dictionary. Users can choose from a variety of output voices, and can speed up or slow the pace and replay any word or phrase at will. The user may also select from continuous, self-paced, or word-by-word reading modes. The program also enables users to take notes, add them to the document, and read, print, and review them. As a test-taking program, this software allows teachers to accommodate students' Individualized Education Plan (IEP) needs for visual and auditory accommodations. The software reads questions and answers aloud, and allows students to type answers directly onto the image of a scanned test. Another feature of this software is the ability to automatically search for books by title or author on electronic text repositories such as Bookshare.org, Project Gutenberg, or the Baen Free Library, and then download and read those books.

These signals are amplified and digitized and sent to the computer where the Cyberlink software decodes the signals into ten BrainFingers for continuous cursor control. Eye motions and facial gestures are also decoded into mouse button clicks, keystrokes, and cursor resolution control. The system supports hands-free mouse, keyboard, joystick cursor control, switch closure, video game control, and music and art synthesis. It features a Windows95/98 mouse driver for hands-free control of third-party software, including games, business software, Internet browsers, and a range of assistive technologies. The system includes the Cyberlink Interface Unit, the Cyberlink Headband/Sensor Harness with three sensors, Cybergel, software (including three games and a music program), the Windows95/98 mouse driver, cables, six months of software upgrades and a user manual. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: A Pentium processor, 16 megabytes (MB) RAM, 20 MB hard disk space, a VGA or better monitor, and Windows95 or Windows98. WARRANTY/GUARANTEE: 30-day money back guarantee.

Name Biggy
Description Biggy is a cursor control interface designed to enlarge cursors on the computer screen for people with visual or cognitive disabilities. This program offers a variety of large cursor alternatives, some with animation, that are at least twice the size of the standard cursor. The program also offers replacements for the I-beam cursor and the wait cursor (the watch on Macintosh computers and the hourglass in Windows). Both versions also have an option that automatically "snaps" the cursor to the "OK" or default button in dialogue boxes, as well as the option of having the pointer wrap around the screen rather than stopping at the edge. The Windows versions also include KeyMouse which enables all mouse movement and button functions to be controlled using the numeric keypad on a standard keyboard or using Intellikeys (see separate entry), and an option which enables the window sizing arrows to be enlarged. The Windows 95/98 version also enables the user to thicken all borders to make grabbing the edge of a window easier. The Macintosh version can double the size of all other cursors. This utility program works within any software program. DIMENSIONS: In all versions, the Biggy cursors are 32 x 32 pixels rather than the standard 16 x 16 pixels; the Macintosh version can enlarge the cursor to 32 x 64 pixels. OPTIONS: A trimmed down version called Biggy-Light is available only through the manufacturer web site or in quantities of 10 or more. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Macintosh computers using OS 9 and earlier or OS X and on IBM and compatible computers using any version of Windows.

The game can be accessed with a joystick, a mouse, a trackball, the keyboard, Intellikeys (see sepatate entry), HeadMouse (see separate entry), Tracker (see separate entry), and other alternative input devices. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Macintosh computers and IBM and compatible coomputers equipped with Windows95.

EXPRESSIVE SIGN WINDOW: This displays an English word from a vocabulary list, and the user fingerspells along with the hand in the Signing Window. The program also allows the user to mark missed words and to repeat them later in the practice session. VOCABULARY WINDOW: This creates a new vocabulary file using user-selected words, allows the user to use letters, numbers, or sentences to make a variety of practice sessions, and saves vocabulary files for future use. SETTINGS WINDOW: Settings can be selected by the user to control fingerspelling speed, including length of time for the first and last letters, and overall speed. It provides controls for replaying missed words either immediately, at the end of the practice session, or both. COMPATIBILITY: Versions are available for use on Macintosh computers or on IBM and compatible computers equipped with Windows. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Windows version requires a 386SX microprocessor higher, Windows 3.1 or higher, a minimum of two megabytes (MB) of RAM, and a 3.5-inch high density disk drive.

Description The Home Page Reader for Windows is a voice output program designed to read web pages for individuals who are blind or have low vision. This program audibly communicates information from any graphical user interface (GUI) on a web page. This includes tables, frames, forms, and alternate text for images, as well as link information and alternate text for objects like image maps. In addition, it verbalizes HTML 4.0 information provided by web page authors, such as summaries and table captions. Advanced table navigation permits reading of rows, columns, and cells that span multiple rows or columns. The user can maintain the current cell position in the table and move up and down a column and right and left across a row. This software also provides multi-language support, enabling reading of web pages in different languages. Using a language setting and shortcut keys, the language the ViaVoice Outloud speech engine uses to read a page can be changed. Within the language settings mode, a specific language such as American English, British English, German, French, Italian, or Spanish can be selected, or automatic language switching can be used. Automatic language switching enables the software to determine the language of the web page and automatically switch to that language. The software uses a male voice to read text and a female voice to read link information for ease in differentiation. In addition, a fast-forward function enables users to skim pages to locate information. Accessing page summary data or using a "Where am I" command enables users to determine the number and location of elements on the current web page. Other standard features include navigation using the numeric keypad, online help and bookmarks, and voice-prompted installation and setup. For new web users, an optional installation of Netscape Navigator is included. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: A Pentium 166 megaHertz processor or equivalent, Windows 95 or 98 or NT, 32 megabytes (MB) of RAM for Windows 95 or 98 or 64 MB RAM for Windows NT, 14 MB available hard disk space and an additional 25 MB hard disk space if installation of Netscape Navigator is required, SVGA graphics card, Windows-compatible 28.8 kilobytes per second modem, a Windows-compatible 16-bit sound card, a quad speed CD-Rom drive, and a numeric keypad (integrated into the keyboard or separate), Internet connection, and Netscape Navigator version 3.01 or higher. To use the E-mail function, Microsoft Personal Web Server version 4.02 is required for users of Windows 95 or 98; Microsoft Peer Web Services version 4.0 is required for Windows NT. OPTIONS: This software is available in a variety of optional languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Italian

Name Instant Text / Assistive Edition
Description Instant Text / Assistive Edition is an abbreviation expansion program designed for use by individuals with upper extremity, fine motor, and learning disabilities. This program uses advanced technology to expand a few keystrokes to full word, phrases, or sentences by automatically comparing three or four keystrokes in a particular order to words or phrases in the dictionary-like glossaries. The program then offers the user a choice of all words and phrases meeting the criteria. Keystrokes are saved with phrases using initial letters. For example, "iac" expands to "in any case." For users with a substantial number of saved electronic documents, glossaries are compiled from existing documents, creating personalized lists. For users without an extensive collection of documents, other glossaries are available and are organized by special needs, such as disability-specific, school subject-specific, law practice-specific, etc. Each user can also organize glossaries, compiled automatically by the program for different tasks, such as addreeses, E-mail, work, medical or general correspondence, etc. Glossaries can be combined or used simultaneously. This program can be used with most word processing and E-mail applications, or it can be used independently with its built-in text editor. This program enables downloading of glossaries from the manufacturer's website, importing of glossaries from other programs, and exchanging of glossaries over the Internet via E-mail.

This program enables people using a switch scanning input method to perform mouse functions (click, double click, drag, right-button click, right-button double click, right-button drag, scroll, Shift Key + either button, Control Key + either button, and pulse click) anywhere on the display. ScanBuddy is designed to work with the REACH Interface Author (see separate entry). Options also are available that enable the user to launch a program of his/her choice and open the settings window to make adjustments to times and options. The user can use one switch for single-switch or inverse single switch scanning or two switches for dual-switch scanning. The switches can be left/right mouse clicks or from external switches emulating left/right mouse clicks. The switch functions also can be assigned to the keys on a hardware keyboard for persons wanting to type with a regular keyboard but minimize movements associated with operating a mouse. Sounds can be assigned to different events to provide additional feedback. This software utilizes the manufacturer's "Section Scanning" to identify a specific area on the display and then line scanning to select the specific target location. Once the location is specified, a scanning menu offers the user different "click" options. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible tablet, laptop, or desktop computers using the Windows operating system. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP or better, Pentium IV processor or better, 256 megabytes (MB) RAM, 75 MB of hard drive space, and a sound card.

Description The Jogger is a prompter designed for use by individuals with cognitive disabilities, brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, or other short-term memory disabilities. Hosted on a small, wearable, commercially-available personal data assistant (PDA) equipped with a touch screen, the system enables users to take needed information with them wherever they go, presenting behavioral prompts and cues for the user at pre-programmed times and recording the user's responses. The system transmits user responses to a therapist or caregiver via the World Wide Web for analysis and modification. Fully individualized for the user, the system can be used to prompt the steps needed to perform job tasks, perform household chores, tasks to be completed before leaving work, take medication, and more. The unit will notify the user of an impending task with a voice prompt, buzzer, LED readout on the color display, or a combination of methods. The user responds to prompts using the unit's touch screen and all responses and the time required to complete the task are recorded. If the user does not respond to a prompt, "ignored" is recorded. If an individual learns a task and no long requires prompting or the information is no longer needed, the information can be deleted. If assistance is needed for a new task or additional information is required for an existing task, it can be added as needed. System features include multiple cueing options, the ability to specify the number and duration of cues, the capacity to provide information in both text and natural voice, and the capability to enable therapists/caregivers to interact remotely with the user. The Jogger system consists of two software modules: the information module residing on the wearable device for the user and management software residing on a web server that enables therapists/caregivers to schedule, remove, and edit tasks and monitor user responses. The therapist/caregiver enters tasks throgh the management software residing on a web server and downloads them directly to the user's device or, using an Internet service provider (ISP), to the web server where the device user can later download them to the device via an ISP. The management software also enables the therapist or caregiver to monitor responses and download them to his/her computer. If the device user is capable of scheduling his/her own tasks, it is also possible for the management software module to reside on the hand-held Jogger unit. The device includes an expansion slot for a modem. The system comes complete with the hand-held unit, software, cables, and manuals. COMPATIBILITY: The eyetem uses Windows CE /Pocket PC Operating System with 32 megabytes RAM. POWER: Uses a long-life battery.

Name Datahand Professional Ii Ergonomic Keyboard & Datahand Personal Edition
Description The Datahand Professional II Ergonomic Keyboard and DataHand Personal Edition are modified keyboard systems designed to reduce or eliminate the discomfort associated with repetitive motion conditions such as Carpal tunnel syndrome, and to increase typing productivity. Both models consist of two separate keypads, one for each hand, that plug into most computers. Each hand rests on an ergonomically shaped and padded palm support. Five keys surround each fingertip and the thumbs. The keypads have every character and command found on conventional flat computer keyboards, and operate with standard computer hardware and software. The five-key finger modules orient keys in a manner similar to flat keyboards. The keys are placed logically and intuitively. Touch typists will already know where most of the keys are located. In Normal Mode, green indicator lights are on and the letters which are labeled in green on the display are available in this mode. In the NAP (Number and Punctuation) mode, yellow indicator lights are on, and numbers and punctuation marks labeled in yellow on the display can be used in this mode. The system is designed to also make better use of the thumbs. Downward pressure of the left thumb actuates the NAP mode; and harder pressure activates the NAP lock. Downward pressure of the right thumb actuates the Shift key; harder pressure activates the CAP lock. Both systems provide differential tactile feedback since each key is touched by a different part of the finger. Other features include ultra-low workload keys; grossly differentiated finger movement; constant view labels that display character and function labels in view; static hand location providing access to all keys without hand movement; total touch type ability; and relaxed hand support continuously supported by palm rests. The wrists are maintained in straight positioning both vertically and horizontally to reduce compression in the carpal tunnel. FINGERMOUSE: A mouse is designed into the system that requires only one-finger motion to activate cursor control up, down, left, or right. By pressing two adjacent keys at the same time, diagonal movement of the cursor is achieved. The FingerMouse provides vernier (two speed) mouse movement control by the index fingers. The DataHand Personal Edition comes with DataHand's LapLander, a portable lap desk. The DataHand Professional II Keyboard can also be mounted on the adjustable armrests of a Triton Office Chair (not included), and it features macro programmable and remappable keys. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM PC, XT, AT, System/2, and most compatible computers, Silicon Graphics and Sun Systems, 5 pin Mini Din and 6 pin Din keyboard connections, and all Apple Macintosh quad-plug computers. Windows, Unix, Linux, and OS/2 operating systems are also compatible. No extra hardware is required. OPTIONS: Palm pads, serial or PS/2 mouse, finger pads, keyboard splitter, mouse splitter, combination Dvorak-QWERTY keyboard layouts, extender cables, and other options are available. DIMENSIONS (HxWxL): Both models measure 2.63 x 18 x 9.63 inches. WEIGHT: Both models weigh 4.5 pounds. WARRANTY: The DataHand Personal Edition has a one-year parts and labor guarantee and three months of phone support. The DataHand Professional II has a two-year warranty and six months of phone support. An extended service plan is available.

Name Leaps And Bounds 3
Description Leaps and Bounds 3 is a pre-reading tutorial program designed for use by pre-school children with learning disabilities. Colorful elephants carrying whimsical characters on their heads lead children into six activities with opportunities for experimentation, problem solving, language development, fine motor skill development, sound discrimination, and more. Children experiment with an on-screen machine to figure out how to make sausages and then squeeze them into a hungry monster's dish. The Make a Body activity enables children to choose from three levels of difficulty to build a series of matching cartoon-style bodies while sharpening visual discrimination skills. Funny animations and sounds play automatically as rewards. Another activity has users creating a symphony and experimenting with rhythm with the Monster Band, a collection of pink blob-like creatures distinguished by features like a trumpet nose, a twanging tongue, and a huge tapping shoe. Children help the gardener keep his flowers alive in the Watering the Flowers activity. The flowers have their own sound effects which decrease as the flowers begin to droop. Sprinkling them with water from the gardener's watering can revives them. Dog's Long Walk helps users hone hand-eye coordination. Navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen allow children to move the dog from left to right and up and down so he can investigate a variety of objects and occasionally take a dip in a pond. Finally, characters from Leaps and Bounds 1 and 2 (see separate entries) appear in Noisy Painting, where black-and-white outlines can be filled in with brilliant colors using an on-screen paintbrush. Children dip the brush in the color of their choice and are treated to sound effects as they complete each painting. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible or Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The IBM and compatible version requires a P-133 processor, 32 megabytes (MB) RAM minimum (64 MB recommended), Windows 95 or higher, CD-ROM drive, 16-bit sound card, and a 800 x 600 256-color monitor.

Description BrailleMaster Braille Publishing Software is a Braille software package with Braille translation programs and text editors designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. With BrailleMaster, the user can translate text to braille and send it either directly to a Braille embosser or printer or to an interim braille file; edit a file, including a braille file; print or emboss Braille from a Braille file; view the completed braille on screen; customize formatting and controls in a Braille embosser or printer; customize Braille rules or develop new Braille codes for text translation in many languages; and develop advanced Braille applications, such as math and music Braille code translators. The BrailleMaster package includes a Windows version of the Braille translator as well as two DOS versions: a screen-based, menu-driven version which also contains a text editor, and a command-line based version which is suitable for batch jobs and for use with screen readers. The bridge between the user and BrailleMaster's translators is the Louis code. Louis is an easy-to-use symbolic language invented by Robotron and named for Louis Braille, the inventor of the Braille system of raised dot writing. The set of rules the user selects tells BrailleMaster how to translate the text into Braille. Users can construct or modify the Braille rules themselves. The Louis rules are contained in a text file which can be easily edited and immediately verified using BrailleMaster's in-built rule verification facility. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Windows version of the BrailleMaster Braille translation program runs in Windows 95/98/NT/2000.

Name Romeo Pro 50
Description The Romeo Pro 50 is a Braille printer designed for use by persons who are blind or have low vision. The Romeo Pro 50 looks like the Romeo 25 (see separate entry), but has aditional features and prints twice as fast. The Romeo Pro 50 prints single-sided braille at a rate of 50 characters per second, versus 25 for the Romeo 25. Standard features include ET Speaks, a fast and flexible speech system that comes up automatically and echoes commands as they are entered on the printer's keypad. The unit uses continuous tractor feed paper, and has single sheet tractors that allow the user to hand-feed non-tractor paper one sheet at a time and it can handle paper weights ranging from standard computer paper through heavy index-type card stock. Dynamic Braille Scaling allows the user to change Braille sizes, even within a document, from Library of Congress Braille to California sign Braille, Jumbo Braille, standard Braille with increased line spacing, or the smaller Braille often preferred in Japan. Braille graphics can be printed at normal resolution for large shapes or at high resolution for finer detail. Sixteen menus allow the user to customize the Romeo Pro 50 for six- or eight-dot Braille, sideways printing, or multiple strikes per character. Up to 99 copies of one document can be printed automatically. The sound level is 75 decibels, but may vary with ambient conditions. The Romeo Pro 50 has one parallel port and two serial ports. It comes with an easily-transportable attache-style case with a handle. POWER: Uses either 105-130 volts alternating current (AC) or 210-260 volts AC. DIMENSIONS (HxLxW): 8.25 x 13.25 x 21.25 inches.

Name Portspeak
Description Portspeak is a speech synthesizer program designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. This synthesizer works in conjunction with a screen reader program and a sound card (not included). The software allows multiple languages to be spoken in nine voices, which can be adjusted for volume, speed, and pitch. PortSpeak remembers the last voice settings, and re-loads them each time the program is started. To reduce the pronounciation errors that can occur with speech synthesizers, PortSpeak uses a technology called GRABS (Grammatical Read Ahead Before Speaking), which reads the text in advance of speaking in order to decide if a word is a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, past participle, or abbreviation. the software uses this information to decide which is the correct pronounciation to send to the sound card. PortSpeak correctly identifies different pronunciations needed for telephone numbers, dates, time, and ordinal numbers. When dealing with currencies, the program will pronounce the currency symbol in the correct order in relation to the amount. A document reader that allows a full document to be read is included. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 95/98/NT, and a screen reader program that has incorporated the Portset API or that has an SSIL interface.

Name Braille2000 Student Edition, Direct Entry Edition, & Document Processing Edition
Description Braille2000 is a braille text editor designed for the production of braille documents for individuals who are blind. Some versions also include a braille translation program. This braille text editor is compatible with ED-IT PC (see separate entry) but has additional features. It is Internet-compatible, can read and write ABT files, and can be used to read and write braille XML files and to translate XML print text into braille. The Student Edition is a braille editing tool for the beginning braille transcriber or for transcribers who do not need all the proofreading tools. It handles all kinds of direct entry braille tasks with automated page layouts to aid the production of literary, textbook, and music braille. The Student Edition has fewer productivity-enhancing aids, mainly in the area of proofreading, than does the Direct Entry Edition. The Direct Entry Edition is a comprehensive braille editing tool for the professional transcriber. It represents the state-of-the-art in WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") braille text editing. A full assortment of page layout and manipulation controls handle literary, textbook, music, math, and poetry formatting. The file management mechanism is designed to handle big projects, such as multi-volume textbooks. Built-in utilities manage backup and file-submission chores with a few clicks of the mouse. The Children's Braille option provides a "grade relaxer" that can create customized-to-the-child variations in the file using only transcriber-selected Grade 2 contractions matching what the child can read, with other Grade 2 contractions automatically converted to Grade 1. The Document Processing Edition includes all the capabilities of the Direct Entry Edition, plus a print-to-braille translator that can work with ASCII-text files, Rich Text files, and XML files of the "dtbook3" type that has been proposed as the digital format to be used by textbook publishers. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, or XP; Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is required with Windows 95.

To contact a service center that uses this system, a customer only needs to call the center's TTY number using a 45.5 baud device or a personal computer. The customer then receives a text-based welcome message and a list of service options from which to pick using a keyboard. When the customer chooses to interact with a live agent, the customer is transferred to a queue of agents using a TTY ranked by skill level. Contact center agents may themselves be deaf or hard of hearing. Statistics are kept on all TTY sessions by agent, including full dialog records. Frequently used text phrases are available to agents via dropdown boxes. Outbound calls are made with dial-out server software makes the server-based modem appear and function as a local modem, allowing any workstation to dial a TTY-TDD modem and communicate. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: These systems do not require a PBX or IVR, only a server and networked personal computers to accept software and cards.

Name Number Navigator
Description Number Navigator is a math skills training program designed for use by individuals with upper extremity and fine motor disabilities. This mathematical software enables children to record their arithmetic and algebra exercises and homework via the button bar, keyboard, or switches without having to resort to the complexities of a spreadsheet. Numbers are entered into grid locations on the screen, using the keyboard or switches with SAW (Switch Access for Windows) Selection Sets. The pupil then navigates through the grid by means of the arrow keys, mouse, or switch. Automatic navigation options are available for left and right movements as numbers are entered. There are also extra navigational tools to assist with addition and multiplication for add and carry movements on the grid. Letters and numbers can be entered in super or subscript sizes and lines can be drawn around any numbers or blocks of figures. The size of the grid can be changed to suit the user, as can the color of the writing, grid, and paper. The grid can be removed for printing. This program is compatible with AccessMaths (see separate entry) and work can be freely copied between the two programs. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 95 or 98.1 operating system; 4 megabytes (Mb) random access memory (RAM); 300 kilobytes (Kb) of hard disk space.

Name Numberpack
Description NumberPack is a math skills training program designed for children with upper extremity and fine motor disabilities. This software program contains three simulated pieces of classroom equipment: a teaching clock, an abacus, and a number line. These simulations are keyboard-operated stand-alone units with their own printing functions. The clock is a re-creation of a classroom teaching clock with a number of additional features. The clock can be moved forwards or backwards in a number of adjustable steps and can be geared or ungeared. Users can change the color of the hands and choose whether or not the clock face has markings in 12 or 24 hour mode. A digital clock can be displayed alongside the analog one. The abacus activity can be set up to show up to ten rows of beads, each containing up to ten beads. There are two modes of use for easy access, mouse only and keyboard/mouse, and the program has a key delay that is useful if the user has a tremor and is likely to hold a key down too long. The number line can have up to 25 divisions in a range of units between minus 150 and plus 150, making it suitable for learning multiplication as well as addition and subtraction. Both mouse and keyboard operate this activity, which features a key delay for users with a tremor. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 3.1, 95, or 98; 4 megabytes (Mb) random access memory (RAM); 100 kilobytes (Kb) of hard disk space.

Name Accessmaths
Description AccessMaths is a geometrical drawing program designed to provide a range of input options for students with upper extremity or fine motor disabilities. The program can be operated using the keyboard, mouse, track ball, or Concept Keyboard. The program approaches drawing tasks using geometrical principles. The user defines reference points on the screen, such as the ends of lines or the center points of arcs, and the program automatically draws the shape. The program's drawing tools allow the swift and accurate construction of lines, squares, rectangles, circles, semi-circles, ellipses, triangles (equilateral, isosceles and scalene), polygons (regular and irregular), parallelograms, arcs, and pie charts, all of which may be annotated by arrows and text. There are three preset Toolbox configuration levels to suit different ability levels of use, and users can customize these by adding or deleting tools, or creating completely new configurations. The drawing tools are complemented by a full set of editing facilities, including scale and rotation tools. The user can create grids to work on, import a background image, and create and edit text for annotating drawings. Other features incude three on-screen measuring tools (ruler, protractor, and set square) that can be manipulated freely around the drawing area; a zoom tool; a transform tool that enables users to modify an existing shape; a fill tool for coloring drawings; and a joined-line tool for the creation of complex polygons. Users can scroll around pages, move shapes simply by clicking on them, and export all or part of a worksheet or picture as a bitmap file. Three simple educational activities (an abacus, clock and number line) are included to give younger students a friendly introduction to the world of mathematics. Images from all three can be pasted directly into the main program as part of the drawing or for printing. Users decide which tools and features appear on screen, so that the appearance of the screen matches the ability of the user. Switch users can access the program through specialized Switch Access for Windows (SAW) Selection Sets. On-screen help is available via a Help dialogue box and an extensive set of help files. This program provides users with access to the tools necessary for the geometry components of key stages 2, 3, and 4 of the United Kingdom's National Curriculum. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 32 megabytes (Mb) random access memory (RAM); 5 Mb of hard disk space; Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, or 2000.

Description First Keys is a language tutorial program and computer keyboarding instruction program designed for children with learning or cognitive disabilities. It links the development of keyboard awareness to early literacy skills. It is suitable for young children or older pupils with learning difficulties. Users develop keyboard skills through picture matching, letter recognition, word building, and spelling exercises. The location of keys is taught by matching letters with pictures and speech. The program includes word lists, color pictures and symbols, and speech. New word lists can also be defined by the teacher. This program uses pictures, animation, speech, and sound to reinforce successful completion of tasks. Activity screens can be printed to follow-up work away from the computer. When an activity is completed, a simple record sheet can be displayed or printed to use as a reward, or to help monitor progress. The program has seven types of activities: In Picture Match, a picture prompt is used to show the location of a letter key. Matching this to a target picture reveals the letter on the keyboard. In Initial Letter, a letter key is matched to the initial letter of a picture prompt. In Letter Match, a letter on the keyboard is matched to the target letter on the screen. Correct matching causes a picture to be displayed. In Find Keys, a keyboard is displayed on the screen with the letters hidden. The keys are revealed when the initial letter is identified in response to a picture prompt. In Word Building, a word is built sequentially to match the picture prompt. In Missing Letter, the word for the picture prompt is displayed with a missing letter. Users type the missing letter, or select it with the mouse from an on-screen keyboard. In Picture Spell, the Look/Cover/Write method is used to practice spelling. A picture prompt is displayed, with the word spoken if speech is available on the user's computer. When the user is ready to spell the word, the user presses a key which hides the word. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers.

Name Spider In The Kitchen
Description Spider in the Kitchen is a language training program designed for children with learning or cognitive disabilities or upper extremity disabilities or spinal cord injury. The program has three separate activities designed to help students with positional language, understanding of processes, and matching objects to suitable locations. In these activities the users find the spider hiding behind objects in the kitchen while engaging in familiar kitchen activities. Users must name familiar kitchen objects and say where they belong. They must distinguish positions in/on/under, above/below/beside, and in front of/behind objects. They must identify the normal sequence of kitchen activities such as making cereal, toast, a sandwich, or a cup of tea, and can watch the consequences of missing the sequence (for example, of pouring too much milk into the cereal bowl). The program is configurable for those who use a mouse, a touchscreen, one or two switches, or IntelliKeys (see separate entry). The program has full text and speech support. The program has many saveable options, such as allowing more thinking time, and comes with auto-loading IntelliKeys overlays. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM or Apple Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: CD-ROM drive.

These tactile storybooks contain information and activities to enhance the development of literacy in young children. Giggly-Wiggly, Snickety-Snick has words on the left-hand page that capture a range of tactile experiences such as bumpy, smooth, and crunchy, and envelopes on the right-hand pages that can be filled with the corresponding real objects (not included). Something Special is a story about a child who has lost something, featuring objects fixed to the book pages. That's Not My Bear is a story about a child who has lost his teddy bear, featuring fuzzy shapes for the special bear and for the replacements offered by his family. Geraldine's Blanket is a story about a girl's special blanket and how it wears out over time, with squares of fabric affixed to the pages to show the fate of the blanket. Jennifer's Messes features thermoforms (molded plastic shapes) of familiar objects such as breakfast cereals, pretzels, and crayons, illustrating the messes made by Jennifer. Jellybean Jungle is a counting book with rows of one to ten thermoform jellybeans; it comes with scented stickers that can be affixed to the jellybeans. Other books illustrated with thermoforms include Gobs of Gum, a rhyming story about bubblegum; Roly-Poly Man, a story about a child who makes a roly-poly man from clay; and Thingamajig, a story about a child who collects everyday things, such as coins, buttons, and marbles. Storybooks illustrated with raised line drawings include The Longest Noodle, about a child who discovers the world's longest noodle; The Blue Balloon, about a balloon that takes on extraordinary shapes and does remarkable things; The Littlest Pumpkin, about a pumpkin that is too small to be a jack-o'-lantern (the pumpkin is made of foam cutouts); That Terrible, Awful Day, in which a child's popsicle disappears as everyone shares a taste; The Caterpillar, in which a blind child finds a caterpillar in the back yard (the caterpillar is made of fuzzy fabric); Silly Squiggles, in which a worm folds itself into various shapes; The Gumdrop Tree, in which a tree grows from a gumdrop and then bears fruit (scented stickers included); Bumpy Rolls Away, in which Bumpy the Ball rolls down a hill, down steps, and along a sidewalk; and Book About Me, with fill-in-the-blank sentences in braille and print and space to add illustrations.

This scientific math program features a math/science word processor, a graphing calculator, a viewer for y versus x plots, a table viewer, and a program for audio and/or braille-assisted reading of tactile figures on an external digitizing pad (the Touch-and-Tell program). The graphing calculator feature displays graphs and functions in visual, auditory, and tactile formats. It permits evaluation of most standard math expressions. Results are returned to the scratchpad buffer and may be cut and pasted to other documents. The calculator will also evaluate functions y versus x that can be viewed in audio using a tone graph viewer that provides the user with a quick semi-quantitative overview. A moving icon on the screen provides similar information for a deaf blind user. The table viewer feature allows users to read, navigate, and edit complex tables in an easy-to-use manner. Tables can be read cell by cell or line by line. The latter option is useful for small tables being read in braille, but the first is usually preferable when speech synthesis is used or when tables are large. Tables may also be created or edited in this viewer. The word processor has five different document buffers that provide basic editing capabilities, including search and cut and paste operations. In the word processor, the keyboard or any assistive device/software that emulates a keyboard may be used for input. Output may be viewed visually on the DOS text screen; audibly using a screen-reading program and external voice synthesizer for text and the PC speaker or a SB16-compatible sound output for other audio; tactually using a braille screen access program and external refreshable braille display; or using any combination of the above simultaneously. The Touch-and-Tell program provides alternate-mode display for information presented visually in figures. The user selects an object or region on a figure that is mounted on a digitizing tablet. The touch-and-tell program then displays textual information about that object or region. This information can be read visually, audibly, or in braille. This scientific math program supports the Nomad tablet, the Edmark Touch Window, and the MagicTouch touch screen digitizing tablets. The Objectif program was made to facilitate preparation of the files and tactile figures used with this viewer. COMPATIBILITY: For use with IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For voice output, a DOS screen reading program such as Vocal-Eyes versions 2.2 and 3.0 or JAWS for DOS 2.3; a speech synthesizer such as Apollo, DECtalk Express, DoubleTalk, Keynote Gold, or MultiVoice, or a device with a speech synthesizer built into its functionality such as Freedom Scientific's Type 'n Speak and Braille 'n Speak devices or the American Printing House for the Blind's Nomad touch tablet; and drivers for the synthesizer. For braille output, a braille screen reader that supports a dictionary option for all 256 DOS screen characters and a braille display that permits downloading of braille tables. The GS8 braille table for representing the GS braille code in DOS characters may be loaded into the TSI Gateway screen reader that is included, with the permission of TSI, in the Triangle distribution files, and this screen reader can be used with any 8-dot TSI Navigator or Power Braille refreshable braille display. OPTIONS: A CD version of this software is available from the manufacturer on request, or it may be downloaded from the the manufacturer's web site.

Name Softwriting
Description SoftWriting is an optical character recognition program designed for use by individuals with low vision. It enables the user to convert non-connected handwritten text into a computer text file, such as a Word document or standard text document. The system may be used by anyone wishing to transfer handwritten material or notes to a computer text file without having to retype it. It is simple to use and requires no prior training. The user first scans the handwritten document with the aid of a standard scanner. This OCR program then processes the document, converting it into electronic format. The translated text appears automatically on screen, beneath the original document. The user then edits errors or unrecognized text. The corrected document can be saved as a text or MS Word file. This OCR program can recognize almost any handwriting, as long as the characters are not connected to each other. The program requires only a brief learning period to learn and remember a new user's handwriting. It also learns each user's vocabulary as well to aid in recognition. Users can define abbreviations so they can be automatically translated by the program. For example, defining "ex" as "example" enables the user to write using shorthand writing, with confidence that the system will recognize the abbreviation and translate it correctly. When handwritten documents include sketches and diagrams, the program can insert the diagrams into the correct area in the computer document. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: This program works with any TWAIN-compatible scanner that can create gray or color images.

The built-in Dragger utility gives the user single switch access to two-button mouse features, including double click, right click, and click and drag. A single click entered manually or with AutoClick can be converted to a double click, right click, or drag. The Dragger toolbar also provides single click access to move the keyboard, hide the keyboard, or size the Dragger. An on/off button for AutoClick is also included in the toolbar to pause the AutoClick and eliminate inadvertent mouse clicks. A Jitter Box feature aids in compensating for user difficulties in controlling the mouse pointer. Several keyboard layouts are available, including QWERTY, alphabetical, numerical, frequency-based, and KidKeys (for young users). Layouts can be independently adjusted with regard to key and font sizes and spacing between keys. The appearance of the keyboard can be modified in color and font style.

Name Dragger
Description Dragger, also called Dragger32, is a mouse emulator program designed for use by individuals with upper extremity, neurological, or severe physical disabilities or spinal cord injury. Using the AutoClick feature, mouse clicks can be performed by dwelling. Dwells and switch clicks can be transformed into double clicks, right clicks, or drags. This feature enters a left-button click after the pointer is motionless for a user-defined period of 0.2 to 10 seconds. A single click entered manually or with AutoClick can be converted to a double click, right click, or drag. The toolbar also provides single click access to move the keyboard, hide the keyboard, or size the toolbar. An on/off button for AutoClick is also included in the toolbar to pause the AutoClick and eliminate inadvertent mouse clicks. A Jitter Box feature aids in compensating for user difficulties in controlling the mouse pointer. HotZone mode enables functionality without the toolbar being visible on the screen, providing unobscured Web browsing or functionality in many full-screen games. The HotZones are eight invisible rectangles around the edges of the screen to which various functions can be assigned. A group or set of HotZones can be defined and saved for use with a specific game. Audible tones indicate when the mouse pointer moves in or out of a HotZone. A reduced functionality mode designed specifically for children reduces the toolbar to two buttons for the most essential features: AutoClick and left drag, while hiding infrequently used features and the options menu. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, or XP.

This embossng method also allows an entire line of braille to be printed at the same time. The printer embosses 32 cells per line. Maximum lines per page are 22 lines of six-dot braille on 8 x 10 inch paper using the interpoint method, or 18 lines using the interline method. For 10 x 11 inch paper, the maximums are 24 lines of six-dot interpoint braille and 19 lines of six-dot interline braille. The printer uses continuous tractor-feed paper with double-sided holes. The printing speed is approximately 64 characters per second, or 35 seconds per sheet. The printer has a serial interface for connecting to a personal computer. The sound level is 40 decibels (dB), but may vary depending on ambient conditions. DIMENSIONS (HxLxW): 325 x 490 x 430 millimeters. The dot spacing is 2.1 millimeters and cell spacing is 3.1 millimeters. WEIGHT: 32 kilograms.

Name Half-Qwerty One-Handed And Two-Handed Keyboard
Description The Half-Qwerty One-Handed and Two-Handed Keyboard is a one-handed keyboard designed for use by individuals with use of only one hand, hemiplegia, carpal tunnel syndrome on one side, and other disabilities of the hand. This keyboard can also be used in conjunction with a braille dispaly by people with blindness or low vision. This full keyboard has a standard QWERTY layout that allows one-handed typing with either hand as well as standard two-handed typing. For one-handed typing, the user places the hand where it would normally be placed for touch-typing on that half of the keyboard. To type the letters of the other half of the keyboard, the user holds down the space bar and does the same finger movements that would normally be done by the other hand. Tapping the space bar alone still types a space. The keyboard also has a Sticky Keys feature that allows the user to type modifier keys (for example, Shift, Control, Alt) and the key being modified in succession, rather than simultaneously. Depressing and releasing a modifier key once makes it active for the next key typed. Pressing the modifier key twice locks it until it is unlocked by pressing the it again. The keyboard uses Alps mechanical key switches, which provide tactile feedback. It can be remapped to a layout that is standard in the user's country, by choosing the desired layout from the computer's control panel. The extra key in the lower left corner of non-U.S. keyboards (next to the Shift key) is represented by typing double-Shift-Z. COMPATIBILITY: This keyboard is equipped with USB, PS/2, and ADB interfaces and a built-in two-port USB hub for use with IBM and compatible or Macintosh computers. WARRANTY: Ten years.

Name Monitor Stand
Description DO IT YOURSELF ENTRYPURPOSE: To enable individuals with spinal cord injury or severe physical disabilities to work on a computer in a reclined position. The monitor must be placed above the user with the face angled downward. To accomplish this, a commercially available monitor support arm was modified. The monitor mounting plate was removed and replaced with a plywood plate attached to the pivoting sub-base with a pair of hinges. Threaded rod, rod couplings, and steel flat stock were used to fabricate a simple crank mechanism that provides 45 degrees of tilt. Careful placement of the mechanism and the monitor with attention to the center of gravity enabled the crank to be turned with minimal effort. The monitor base was removed so it sits flat on the mounting plate. L-shaped upright supports at the front edge of the monitor and a web strap across the top add safety features and prevent monitor movement throughout the range of tilt. SKILLS REQUIRED: Carpentry, metal work, and assembly. TITLE: Monitor Stand for Computer Worker. WEB SITE: Tech Connections at http://www.techconnections.org. REF: Browse Case Examples.

Name Gus! Word Prediction
Description Gus! Word Prediction is a word prediction program designed for use by individuals with fine motor or upper extremity disabilities and individuals who use one hand on a computer keyboard. This voice output utility program can be used with standard application software. It places an "always on top" window on the computer screen, which can be stretched or shrunk to any size, with automatic adjustment of font size. As the user begins to enter a word, the box displays a list of choices. Words are presented based on "frequency of use," meaning that words that the user has typed most often in the past appear at the top. As the user continues to type, the list narrows the choices down further. This feature is called "word completion." To select one of the words from the list, the user presses the corresponding function key (F1 to F9). The program learns new words as the user types (Autolearn) and builds a personalized vocabulary. After the user has finished entering a word, the box will display a list of words that often follow the word just entered, based on the user's own vocabulary. The program also includes abbreviation expansion (for example, "gm" may be expanded to "good morning") and a spell checker. The program automatically speaks as the user types, based on Microsoft Speech. The maximum dictionary size is more than 100,000 words.

Name Keyspell Ellipsis
Description KeySpell Ellipsis is a voice output spelling utility designed for use by individuals with learning disabilities. This spelling aid supplements the spell checkers in programs such as Microsoft Word. It has a comprehensive dictionary of 350,000 words, and can be set for specific levels of difficulty or areas of interest. For example, an inexperienced writer could reduce the number of suggestions produced by choosing the Junior dictionary, while a doctor could narrow the range of suggestions by choosing the Medical dictionary. To help users select the correct word, thesaurus-type alternatives are provided, as are examples of the word used in context, in a meaningful sentence. The program has a direct link to recent versions of Microsoft Word (97 or later) and Dragon NaturallySpeaking (version 5 or later), allowing users of those program to find the correct spelling with the spelling utility program and transfer the results back with a single keystroke, replacing the original. The utility can also scan Microsoft Word documents for spelling errors and homophones (which are highlighted as such). The checking mechanism provides suggestions based on phonetic similarity to entered word(s), so the correct word can be produced from even complex misspellings. Searches can also be conducted on the beginning or the end of words, according to user preference. For those with dyslexia and similar disabilities, the correct spelling can also be supplied when a word with a vowel-consonant pair is misspelled with a consonant (i.e., "elephant" is spelled "lephant"). This program also uses voice synthesis technology from Nuance to allow selected text to be read alod as it appears on screen. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 75 megahertz (Mhz) Pentium processor (166 MHz Pentium recommended); 32 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM) (64 MB recommended); Windows 98 (second edition)/Me/NT4/2000/XP operating system; 100 MB hard disk space; CD-ROM drive; 16-bit sound card; USB audio headset or equivalent.

Designs are based on a study of the key factors that affect legibility, including character shapes, relative thickness of the character shapes, inter-character spacing, and aspect ratios that affect the maximum size at which a font can be used. Screenfont is for use in television subtitles. PCfont is for use on personal computers. Infofont is for use in printed instructions on public terminals, and is designed to be legible at a reading distance of 30 to 70 centimeters. Signfont is for fixed (not internally illuminated) signage, and its recommended usage is white or yellow characters on a dark background. LPfont is designed specifically for large print use. PCfont, Infofont, and Signfont each come with a standard zero and a slashed zero. Screenfont and LPfont come with only a standard zero. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh or IBM and compatible computers.

Name Switch Xs
Description Switch XS is a mouse emulator and single switch keyboard modification program designed for use by individuals with upper extremity, fine motor, neurological, or severe physical disabilities or spinal cord injury. It enables individuals who cannot use a mouse or keyboard to operate a computer by pressing a single switch. It works with any standard Macintosh application and offers full mouse and keyboard emulation by means of a scanning mode. With each click on the switch the user selects an action, such as "move the cursor up" or "type B," from one of several predefined scanning panels. The user can set scanning speed and cycling, mouse speed, and whether the scanning panel becomes partially or fully transparent when no scan is taking place. In addition to switches, the program works with most USB joysticks and gamepads, regular keyboards, and switch interfaces that emulate any of these. The program works with US and several international keyboard layouts. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS X 10.2 or higher operating system; minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

Name Keystrokes 3
Description Keystrokes 3 is an on-screen keyboard program designed for use by individuals with fine motor, upper extremity, neurological, and severe physical disabilities or spinal cord injury. It is a virtual on-screen keyboard program that allows the user to type with a mouse, trackball, head pointer, or other mouse emulator to enter characters into any standard Macintosh application. The program provides multilingual word prediction, including word completion, next word prediction, and multi-word prediction in any Roman language and other languages. Dictionaries can be edited, and new dictionaries can be added for additional languages or dialects. The program learns the user's vocabulary as the user types or through text files; on Mac OS X learned text can be spell-checked automatically to prevent learning typos. For those who can position a pointer, but not click the mouse buttons, a dwell utility allows mouse button clicks to be entered by holding the cursor motionless for a programmable period of time. The on-screen keyboard floats above other applications, and can be automatically shown and hidden as needed. The program provides visual and audio feedback, including voice output for text entered in English, configurable auto-spacing and auto-capitalization features for a number of languages, and various key designs, selectable font, and adjustable key spacing. The program works with US and international keyboard layouts and includes five interactively resizable keyboard models. A Simple Mode is available to limit a student's access to more advanced features. OPTIONS: Also available in French. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 9 or higher or Mac OS X 10.1.3 or higher (OS X 10.2 recommended); minimum 800 x 600 pixel screen resolution; 10 megabytes (MB) of free memory. The program comes with a copy of an earlier version, KeyStrokes 2.2, for use on older machines running Mac OS 7.1 and up.

Name Talking Typing Teacher
Description Talking Typing Teacher is a typing instruction program designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. Typing lessons, practice drills, and typing speed tests are displayed on screen while being read out loud. Every lesson or practice session is read with pre-recorded digitized human speech, making it unnecessary for users to understand synthetic speech. Digitized human speech is used for all menus, lessons, and help. Synthetic text-to-speech is used only to read the student's name and to play back text the student has typed into Workbook, a fully-functional talking word processor included with the typing instruction program for use in typing practice. For on-screen presentation of lessons, students can choose the font, text size, and text and background colors. The curriculum has three levels of instruction, differing in the number of keys that are taught and how the instructions are worded and presented. Lessons teach and reinforce typing, with emphasis on posture and correct typing habits. Lessons also include optional tunes and sound effects. A set of six typing games is included. The program supports multiple students, and will pull up each student's record when he or she logs in. A teacher's tool called "File Cabinet" enables the teacher to manage entire groups, keep track of individual student progress, and create customized typing lessons. The program comes with a large print manual and a choice of cassette or braille manuals. A Pro version for use on up to 35 networked computers comes with a teacher's instruction kit in a choice of braille or print. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 90 megahertz (MHz) or better processor; Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98, 95, or Windows NT Service Pack 4 operating system; 16 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM); standard keyboard (not USB); 20 MB of available disk space; 16-bit sound card and speakers or headphones; CD-ROM drive; Internet Explorer 4.01 or later. The Pro version requires 420 MB of available disk space on the server computer, and 20 MB of available disk space on each client machine.

Name Paws Signs Stories
Description Paws Signs Stories is an American Sign Language (ASL) training program designed for use by children who are deaf or hard of hearing. It consists of a computer software CD-ROM with five stories and 15 educational games (three for each story). The stories are designed to teach early ASL skills, including visual discrimination, facial expression, sign location, and signs accompanied by movement (classifiers). The stories use repetition, patterned language, and predictable structure to encourage early reading skills. The games concentrate on reading decoding, vocabulary building, signing skills, visual memory, visual perception, visual/motor coordination, early concepts such as categorization and matching, computer skills, and math. For example, one game for the story "Time to Wash" requires the child to sort clothes by type into laundry baskets, and to count the number of items put in and taken out. Another game for that story teaches the English spelling and ASL fingerspelling for colors and types of clothing. Linda Bove, the deaf actress on Sesame Street, signs the stories, directions, and game items, dressed as Paws the dog. The CD comes with a User's Guide. OPTIONS: Available with or without a set of five storybooks. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 166 megahertz (MHz) Pentium processor; Windows 95, 95 Plus, 98, or NT operating system; 32 megabytes (MB) memory; 16X or better CD-ROM; 15 MB hard disk; 15-inch SVGA color monitor with 16-bit or more colors and capacity to set the screen size to 800 by 600 pixels and small fonts.

Name Asl Tales And Games For Kids 1: Woof Woof Way
Description ASL Tales and Games for Kids 1: Woof Woof Way is an American Sign Language (ASL) training program designed for use by children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is the first in a CD-ROM series with stories that happen in the neighborhood of Paws, the signing dog. Each piece of software in the series contains three stories and 10 games. In addition to Paws, there is a central group of characters (neighborhood children), most of whom are deaf, hard of hearing, or multiply disabled, and represent different ethnic groups. Each CD-ROM is named for a street in Pawstown. In each opening menu, the child can click on a building or area of the street to reach a menu for a story that relates to that neighborhood feature (e.g., library, playground, restaurant). The stories use repetition, patterned language, and predictable structure to encourage early reading skills. Some stories are interactive. Viewing options include audio and video clips of signing. The games concentrate on reading decoding, vocabulary building, signing skills, visual memory, visual perception, visual/motor coordination, early concepts such as categorization and matching, computer skills, and math. In addition to stories and games, each CD-ROM in the series includes a dictionary of vocabulary used in the software. Each word in the dictionary is shown in print, with a graphic depicting the concept and a line drawing of the related sign, as well as an option to view a video of the sign. The dictionary pages can be printed. The first CD in the Pawstown series, Woof Woof Way, includes stories about the Pet Store, the Toy Store and the Library, along with ASL stories in the ASL Video Store, and a visit to the Institute for Disabilities Research and Training (IDRT) office. The accompanying games include sequencing story events, completing sentences, designing an animal, identifying an object from its parts, counting money to pay for items in a story, categorizing items, designing a book cover, and spelling words.

Name Earobics
Description Earobics is an auditory perceptual training and pre-reading tutorial program designed for use by children and adults with communication or learning disabilities or who are hard of hearing. It provides phonological awareness and auditory processing training for the prevention and remediation of reading and other language-based disabilities. The software comes in home, classroom, and professional versions. The professional version is designed for use by reading specialists, audiologists, and speech language pathologists (SLP's). The classroom version, also called Earobics Literacy Launch, is available in CD-ROM, Local Area Network (LAN), or Wide Area Network (WAN) format. The Home, Professional, and Classroom versions each include three products: Step 1 and Step 2 for children, and Step 1 for adolescents and adults. Step 1 features six interactive games with up to 114 levels of play, teaching the phonological awareness, auditory processing and introductory phonics skills required for learning to read and spell. The games also develop general cognitive skills that support learning, such as attention and memory. Step 2 features five interactive games with up to 168 levels of play, addressing the skills targeted in Step 1 at a higher level, plus language processing skills that are critical for extracting meaning from spoken language and written text. Step 1 for Adolescents and Adults provides game-style multimedia instruction designed to appeal to adolescents and adults who are struggling to read faster, spell better, and improve their comprehension. Game play is automatically adjusted to the skill level and progress of the student. Other factors that can be adjusted include the amount of visual cueing and auditory feedback, the rate at which sounds are presented, the length of sound units, and the amount of background noise competing for the student's attention. The Classroom and Professional versions include management tools to allow the teacher, audiologist, or SLP to customize each game to the needs of each student, by limiting play to the games that target the student's deficit skills, choosing the starting levels of difficulty within each game, determining when skill training should be repeated or skipped, and customizing auditory repetition and other features. The software also automatically generates goals for each activity in IEP (Individualized Education Plan) format, collects performance data for each student, and prints each student's progress reports by date or range of dates. A password option protects the confidentiality and reliability of data records. Names can be removed and added to the player list in the professional and classroom versions, but not the home version. OPTIONS: Professional Version options include Specialist/Clinician Resource Guides for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 1 for Adolescents and Adults. Classroom Version options include a Teacher's Resource Guide; Integrated Multimedia Tools and Books, including uppercase and lowercase letter mats and letter sets, picture/word cards, letter/sound review deck, big and small books, videotapes, audiotapes, talking CD-ROM books; and School-to-Home Connections materials, including Earobics Home Software, take-home books, and reproducible activities and manipulatives. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh or IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For IBM-compatible computers, 133 megaherta (Mhz) Pentium processor or above; Windows 95/98/NT operating system; 32 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM); 16 MB available RAM (32 MB recommended); 256 color display (16 bit color recommended); 4x CD-ROM drive; 10 MB available hard disk space; Soundblaster compatible 16-bit sound card and speakers.

Name Sign Smith Studio
Description Sign Smith Studio is a software and lesson authoring tool designed to create digital media for use by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The program allows educators, instructional system designers, and software designers to add animated SigningAvatar characters to web page, CD-ROM, DVD, and kiosk content in order to communicate through sign language. Signed English translations are generated automatically by the program, and authors who know American Sign Language (ASL) can create content that incorporates the signs, facial expressions, mouthing, and eye gaze that are integral to communicating in ASL. A cast of three-dimensional animated characters perform the designer's script and sign the text. The program can create web page HTML, script, or video output. In each program utilizing SigningAvatar characters, the designer can select an ôappropriateö character for the environment from among characters of different age groups and ethnic backgrounds, plus a signing reptile. The authoring program includes a library of 2,000 signs and facial expressions, and 10,000 English words and signed English equivalents. A menu displays facial expression as well as a description of when the expression is appropriate in ASL grammar. Non-linear editing tools allow the author to move, delete, edit, insert, and replace scripted information independently. Five concurrent behaviors (sign, co-sign, expression, gaze, and mouthing) can be synchronized to work together for natural, lifelike character interaction. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Pentium-compatible 450 megahertz (MHz) processor, 600 MHz+ recommended; 128 megabytes (MB) random access memory (RAM), 256 MB recommended; 3D Accelerated Graphics Card with at least 8 MB memory, AGP interface preferred; Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating system, or Windows NT with Service Pack 6; Internet Explorer 5 or higher; sound card.

Pipe is a voice output game program designed for use by individuals who are blind or have low vision. In this game, the player has a hammer and a toolbox full of pipes, and must fix the underlying leaky pipe structures in three world cities. Each city has twelve regular levels plus two bonus levels. As the sound of approaching water gets louder, the player must fix the pipes before the water spills out. On some levels the player must fit eight pipes while on other levels more than 14 pipes must be fitted. The toolbox has three to seven pipes to select from. On each level more pipes are added to the toolbox, and the water drips faster. The player must fight off bats, dogs, bees, and other surprises along the way. In the bonus round, the player finds the match for a dropping sound among six choices. This game program is completely self-voicing, so it can be played without a separate screen reader program. It comes with a documentation file. COMPATIBILITY: For use on IBM and compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 98 or higher operating system; Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or higher; Microsoft Media Components installed prior to game program installation.

Name Computer Fingers
Description Computer Fingers is an educational game program designed for use by children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The games enhance vocabulary and teach fingerspelling and phonics skills. In the Computer Game, players first explore the keyboard to see the relationship between upper and lower case letters, the manual alphabet, and cued letters, then choose a word to spell from three sets of 10 words each. Words come to life as they are spelled. In the Matchup Game, players match letters to handshapes of the manual alphabet and match words to pictures. An animated cuer shows how the word or letter is pronounced. The Name the Word Game can be played in one of two ways: Identify the picture for the word cued, or identify the picture for the word spelled manually. The speed of the animated cuer and the animated hand can be varied in each game. COMPATIBILITY: For use on Apple Macintosh and IBM or compatible computers. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: For Macintosh computers, System 7 through 9 or OS X is required. For IBM-compatible computers, Windows 95/98/2000/XP is required.
